Always satisfying to finish a project, but I was sad to see this one end. I had LOTS of fun with the quilting on this one, and I also like how it looks on the back.
As my friend pointed out, it's become a sampler of free-motion quilting as well. Before I go any further, I want to link to Leah Day's wonderful resource The Free Motion Quilting Project : 365+ designs - this site provided some great quilting ideas when I got stuck. Tune in each week for FMQ Fridays for inspiration from her and others.

This is my next quilting project - last shown HERE
- of course I have to sash it and turn it into a quilt top first!
This is so inspiring to see, especially with the before and after photos -it makes me want to quickly piece my next quilt top so that I can adorn it with beautiful quilting designs!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you quilted this beautiful quilt. Its inspiring to see how the quilting so greatly enhanced each block. Your before and after pictures are a wonderful reference for the rest of us exploring this art form.
ReplyDeleteI love the sampler approach to the quilting and the way it complements each square . . . such love poured in to each step.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful sampler Lynette and the quilting is so beautifully made, lovely colors.
