FMQ Designs

I'm having fun trying out a whole bunch of free motion quilting designs on the BQ (Maple Island Quilts pattern) quilt. The quilt is proving to be a fabulous warm-up to better quilting that I'm putting into my Madrona Road challenge quilt. No pics of that quilt to share yet, but I can tell you it's 40" X 50" on a Kona white background, and it's densely quilted.

These are some of the designs I tried on the BQ quilt.










The designs aren't quilted perfectly, but practice makes perfect, right? I'm definitely lovin' my sewing room set-up, particularly the natural light that streams through the room's bay windows. Happiness! Linda

  1. Seems to me that you are already a very competent machine quilter. It is fun practicing and trying new things isn't it, ?

  3. Wow, it's looking good! I know what book you are working from too cause I've got it and I'm trying it out too. I really like your BQ quilt. I have had that pattern for years and have even bought fabric to make some quilts from it. I guess I better put it on the list to make up this year. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year too!

    Think I need to take a leaf from you and practice.
