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!

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?
