wow, this is slow... rip and start again.
will freestyle around where I will applique the sun, birds, flowers, leaves, stems... not wanting to put all that work if the free stlye does not work out.

slow... very slow. not loving it.

camera dark for free stlye, eveyone is asleep and can't turn on all the lights to flood the living room. will wake up the dog, grandkids, husband, daughter..

I think you are doing really well...I haven't tried this yet. Pretty new to machine work, I am just doing simple lines and trying not to fall off the ditches! Perhaps a cup of tea and a rest might be an idea (chocolate could be helpful!).

Really like this ! Good work ! Fun !

I might have to give this a try. It looks like you are doing a great job. Very pretty.

yes, will start again tomorrow.. told my husband.. this will be another 3 year quilt. ha ha.
I usually do beside the ditches of triangels and rectangels, circles. sometimes ditch..
this is my first time with this.
cup of tea and good night rest. :)

Lookin' good... keep up the good work.

heh, I watched a series of utubes before I tried, talked about preparing your machine, moving your hands and shoulders, singing a song.. lots of great tips first.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

thank you all for the encouragement. will try again tomorrow !

I think that you are doing a great job.Very nice quilt looks so happy!

Looking good.

Looks great!

I hope you continue to work on this and see it through to completion. It is beautiful, and so very unique.... a true work of art to be treasured, for sure.

Keep it up and please post a final picture when you are done.

Keep up the good work!

Looking good. Love the quilt!

Awesome, You keep going slow and steady is the key for a perfect quilt. :XD:

Nice, bright quilt. I love flower quilts. You are doing a great job. It looks wonderful.

Slow and steady wins the race. You are doing great!!

Looking good! That's a great use for the Dresden plate.

This is beautiful. I have not tried that style yet but feel I need to learn that too. Great job.

Does freestyle mean, you make it up as you go, or do you have a pattern you are using? Just curious? I like design, I think it's coming out very nice, will watch for photo updates! Keep at it, nice work!

It looks great! Slow and steady is how you learn! Your doing great!

What a happy quilt! Makes me smile.

So pretty! I love it.

I love it. Your doing a great job. It will be worth the slow when your done. Its gorgious. :thumbup:

This is just adorable!

That is such a pretty quilt!!! It's so cheerful and Springy!!! :thumbup:

I think it looks great. Glad to hear that I am not the only one running my machine in the wee hours of the morn. Can't wake everyone up either, but sometimes it's the best time fore me cause it's the quietest and I'm not as stiff in my joints.

Great job! I really like it!

Looking good so far! Cute quilt!

Very pretty!

Dear Nancy,
Freestyle, dog feet are covered or dropped so there is no grip on the fabric, hands move the fabric around to create a quilt pattern of any sort. A pattern traced on the fabric or swirls ect.
the bobbin is critical, the tension is critical and the thread !! UUGGHH really good thread of it breaks, then breaks again.
Still not feeling the love of this.
Ell

oh i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful

Love it

quilting looks good

Keep up the good work. Your quilt looks like a breath of spring.

we all need a bit of spring right now.. thanks

Love your quilt. It is so sweet. The blue birds are adorable. How big are the sunflowers?

What quilt is the orange and brown?

That is BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL...
