I'm over the moon happy to be able to say that session #2 of my FMQ drills is over and it went much better than session #1.
Oh, my! It was fun, and went fast too. I'm pretty sure the reason I was more relaxed was that I did this kind of quilting on a much smaller wall hanging before.
Also, I used all white thread in my bobbin to match the backing, but I changed my top thread to match the strips. This was a good way to camouflage some of my wonky loops :)
Once the loops were finished, I decided white strips really needed some stitching too, so I did some pretty dense straight line stitching. I absolutely love the contrast of those two very different quilting patterns.
I then attached a yellow binding (it matches those tiny yellow boats on the backing perfectly) and one fun little baby boy quilt was finished.
Hope you all have a very lovely weekend. Svetlana

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little quilt and a great way to practice FMQing.
ReplyDeleteYour loops are so nice and even! Every time I try this mine are all over the place.

ReplyDeleteHermoso trabajo!!!
ReplyDeleteThe loops are very effective! well done.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are so pretty and so is your loopy stitching!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteReally cute! P.S. "Kona Bona" :-D
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you weren't more relaxed because you had a glass of wine first?!? I think they look perfect, not a wonky one in sight!
ReplyDeletethe quilting and contrasting binding make ths simple quilt really shine. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the colours and the contrast that you did with the quilting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish. Love the colors and the quilting. Great job :-)
ReplyDeleteSo this is a dumb question :) but do you stitch the loops while moving the quilt away from you? Or towards you? Or side to side?
ReplyDeleteAwesome job btw! Great idea to practice on charity quilts. :)
someday I'll try those loops, too.
ReplyDeleteI've been such a chicken about free-motion quilting. Thanks for showing such a simple finish that looks fantastic. I gotta get over it and try this myself!
ReplyDeleteI really like the color gradient you did. The loops look so smooth and I always like straight line stitching :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! You have inspired me to give this a try...
