Great, I like how it gives the quilt movement.

I love how it turned out too. The spiral quilting on the squares really sets it off.

Hi Bonnie - I did use a walking foot and the edge of that foot as the guide for each row. It went VERY slow at the beginning and then a bit fast as the circle got bigger. Here is a link to the tutorial I adapted a bit:

I am working my way toward feeling for confident enough to try FMQ. ~smile~

Thank you so much for the link to the tutorial. I am in the middle of a quilting mania year. Four nieces are expecting and I am making a quilt for each of my colleagues before I retire in December. I have the free motion thing down reasonably well but the spiral will make some of the quilts more.....interesting for me and will show off the patterns in a new way. Thanks again!

Hi Sue,
I cut out a paper circle (drew around a glass the right size), pinned that on the quilt and very slowly went around it and then moved it up 1/2" and gradually kept sewing to that line. I then used the edge of my walking foot as the width for each row. I went through 4 bobbins!

Thanks so much for the instructions...I have a quilt I need to finish and I think that might be perfect for it! Again, love your quilt!

Wow I would get dizzy sewing that. Nice job!

Nice spiral quilting.

Thank you again for all the kind words and praise! I'm looking at my next quilting project - I'm going to try chalk marking a template on the borders and straight stitching in the middle (I think). ~smile~

Was this accomplished on your designated sewing machine or a long arm?

Love your quilt. The spiral quilting is such a perfect contrast to the piecing in the quilt. Color choices are so happy looking.

Hi Linda,
I used just my regular $200 Brother sewing machine. It really was just a matter of going really slowly - like two stitches, stop and adjust, two stitches, adjust - especially in the very middle. Toward the edges I was able to go much, much faster. I would say the whole thing took about 4 hours to quilt, maybe 5 at the most. I hope you try it! ~smile~ Roseanne

Looks great! I love the spiral quilting - it brings the whole quilt up a notch.

JJean 05-21-2017 05:37 PM

I like this quilt very much!!

Interesting. I've never seen a spiral quilt job like this before. Pretty cool.
