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.

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!

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!

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?
