I love it!

For the life of me, I can never figure out how you all get those great designs to look like that!!

I'll give you a way to practice!

Take out a piece of paper (lined or unlined, doesn't matter)

get a pen

Put the pen down on the paper and begin moving it around and drawing.

Don't pick the pen up, do a continuous line.

Now start making designs like flowers or jagged edges or flames or stars or swirls.

Free motion quilting is the same only you're moving the "paper" around under a stationary "pen" know what I mean? Just make a few quilt sandwiches that are 12x12" and practice things like that, just doodle :P You'll pick it up faster than you know!!

I like it! Isn't it fun to just say...this is my quilt, there are no rules and just have fun! I love your flowers and the squiggly line is a great idea!

Me thinks it's way cool! Love it, and love the colors on the quilt. Can we see the whole thing?
