I have decided to get better at free motion quilting. I have a number of quilts that need completing and know the designs I want to use on them - but at present I am being a bit ambitious considering my skill level. So out come the books, clips and blog posts - all to teach me better techniques at free motion work.
To practise my work I have created a number of small projects to quilt. Many are finished, some of which I am happy with the quilting of, others not. Some need a border or cushion backing - but here is one I made - a simple small table topper.
The fabric is from the original range by Anni Downs and I used 4 1/2 " squares turned into a disappearing nine patch. The good thing about small projects is that you can play with different blocks as well as different quilting techniques.
I really like the flowers I quilted and I was pleased to see progress in my skills. The spacing of the flowers just needs to be improved - and I'm marking still it all out with a dissolving blue pen line!
