Might that be some free motion quilting?!
I ran out of excuses to put off the free motion quilting, so this weekend I just decided to go for it. I have to say that it’s at the same time both harder and easier than I expected. To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know what to expect, but for some reason I thought that moving the fabric and creating the designs would be difficult. In fact, this part seemed to go smoothly. What was difficult was controlling my movements – I’ve ended up with stitches of a variety of lengths, not to mention many crossed stitches and some sharp, pointy lines where I obviously jerked the fabric rather than moving it slowly and evenly.
I keep telling myself that I won’t notice those flaws once it’s completed and washed. I hope that’s the case!
(Does it make it more legit if I wear gloves? Maybe it makes it look like I know what I’m doing!)
The spotted quilt top is finished!
I had to buy more fabric…
Wow, you are brave! I think the quilting looks great! And yes, the gloves do make it more legit too. hehehe Keep it up!
Looks great! The wash and dry definitely hides any flaws so don’t worry about those… and the more you practice the easier it will get. It’s so much fun.
I’m not sure it makes it more legit, but it sure seems to help with the quilting! I’m new to the free-motion world and I haven’t tried the gloves… yours looks great and congratulations for taking the plunge!
I do see what you see!!! Very cool not to mention quite brave as well ! I can’t wait to see it in person.
Thanks for sharing your quilting adventures and all the gorgeous stuff you do…..your an inspiration to me and have started to stipple? a few of my quilts and now am excited to keep trying it…and I wear gloves too…DH thinks I look silly……
