Free Motion Piece

I spent many weeks trying to figure out the right arrangement of these pieces.  Just after returning from New Year's, I arranged them, sewed them together and free motion quilted.  I just stopped guessing the best arrangement and moved forward. 


I'm really happy how well the quilting came out.  I'm not sure about the piece as a whole. But I am sure glad it's behind me now!


One of my favorite quilting is this fern leaf that I tried to copy the fern in the pink fabric.


It's not often I want to show the back of my free motion work.  I don't know whether it was the YLI thread or a slow and steady hand or the stars all aligned, the back is showable!!!

  1. The back just blows me away. Wow.
    I am scared to do free motion though I do have the foot for my machine. I just need to sit down and practice.
