Block of the Month gettin' done!

I participated in Amy Gisbson's sugarblockclub 2016. I swapped out a couple of blocks for ones I liked better. I have decided to quilt them as blocks and then put them together following Leah Day's Craftsy class (Free Motion Quilting a Sampler). The first two blocks are quilted. Just have to bury threads. I love this type of project.

Thanks for looking! If anybody has any ideas for quilting a narrow (one inch) border, feel free to share!

I would like to try a new motif in each square.

Great machine work! I'm looking forward to the completed quilt. How are you going to put the blocks together?

Handi Quilter has demos of what they call "minute motifs". I believe all are free motion quilting and they have a video as well as a pdf of the techniques. You might find some ideas there.
