Progress on The Free Motion Quilting Project

Out of the three free motion quilting blogs that I am following and attempting to keep up with, I think this is the one where I belong the most! For some time, I have been following Leah Day at The Free Motion Quilting Project - see button at right. She recently began a Quilt Along for FMQ and is starting at the beginning.  Stippling - the wandering curved line that never crosses itself.


I know I need lots of practice but I am so much better than I was a couple of years ago when I first tried this! This is just a practice sandwich of various wiggles.

I am stippling some 12" blocks. Once in a while, I add a loop - I think that is called "Jeanne's stippling"! Yup, it is my way! My curves need to get smoother but I am beginning to get control over my stitch length. I also greatly appreciated Leah's advice on quilting in rows - it has made this much easier for me. I am beginning to relax and enjoy this too!

Time for more practice!
