FMQ for the Fun of It!
Spring has finally arrived in upstate NY. My gardens are crying for some attention, so little sewing has happened this week. But last night I decided to find a quilt sandwich and just have some fun practicing some spirals, one of my favorite designs.
This quilt sandwich was a leftover experiment from my Koi Pond quilt. I tried machine embroidery to quilt, but I never liked the results. So I think it's fair game to have a little fun stitching!
I think the spirals are timely, Leah Day showed a tutorial on them this week. So I'm linking up with Leah Day for FMQ Fridays at the Free Motion Project.
Color Me Quilty!

That looks great Pat. I hope you are going to use it for something.
ReplyDeleteI will make an effort to stop by Monday. I have been wanting to try some shot cottons.
Since it was just a week ago that I was looking at the lake with you the Koi seem to be swimming. I hope you turn it into a pillow to go with your beautiful Koi pond quilt. Enjoy
