My first real attempt at free-motion quilting
1 Attachment(s)
I have been drooling over some of the pictures on this board for ages. Every day when I get my email I have to check out the latest pictures of what y'all are doing. I'm amazed, inspired, and in most cases very envious of the skill level here.
So, I got the bug . I decided to attempt FMQ. I found this table topper pattern that I absolutely fell in love with, emailed the designer and asked for permission to make it. I had no idea how difficult it would be--I am allergic to triangles--, but I like how it turned out. [ATTACH=CONFIG]362245[/ATTACH] I did the SID and that didn't turn out too bad, so I did more lines. Then I tried a little squiggle in the middle strip to counter all the straight lines. I didn't like it so I turned it into a vine and added leaves. At Once I made the first leaf, I was on my way and simply couldn't stop. It was kinda fun. I didn't like it at first, but it has started to grow on me. |
Very nice!! Your quilting look great!! A lot bettter then my first time. Love the colors you used!
|
You did a wonderful job on this quilt! If you could see my first attempt, it was aweful. Yours is great only to be even more so as you continue FMQing!
|
Great job on your first FMQ, looks good!!!!
|
Of course it is growing on you, vines right?:D Your star spin is beautiful! I did one a while back and starch is your friend on the bias edges.
|
I wish I could do as well with the free motion.

It sure looks great to me!!

I love your leafy vines and your selection to put it on the dark green strip makes it pop! You first attempts at FMQ are inspirational. I can just imagine what you will accomplish with more practice.

I love what you did. Great job and congratulations! I think the first time is the hardest. I was actually scared to try it the first time. ;0
