Seven More Charming Squares

Still quilting my Charming Squares quilt. Several folks have asked how I decide on what to stitch, I literally decide when my needle goes into the square. In other words, no planning at all (except that it must be an echoing design). It makes me feel like a kid with a new pad of paper and pencil.








Basically, anything goes. So I think it's appropriate that today I'm linking up with Marelize at Stitch by Stitch for Anything Goes Monday.

FMQ Friday

This week has been good, but crazy busy. Not much time or inclination to quilt, but last night I got a little more done on my Charming Squares quilt.







I have about 30 more little squares to quilt, plus the border. That's about a 1/3 of the quilt left. Maybe I will have a little time next week - Black Friday is meant for quilting!!!!

A Few More Squares of FMQ

I hope you're not getting bored with the FMQ on my Charming Squares quilt, because I have a lot more squares to quilt.  So here's a few more quilted squares. (This really is so much fun).








I'm getting better at echoing, which is what ties these designs together.

FMQ Friday

I do LOVE to free motion quilt, especially when I can stitch what ever I feel like. That's what I'm doing on my Charming Squares quilt. I was able to get another section of the quilt done.





I think this is my favorite square so far.

Just A Little Free Motion for Monday

I had a fun, fast weekend filled with family events, but I did have time for just a little free-motion quilting on my Charming Squares quilt.

Charming Squares FMQ

Oh yeah, back in the saddle! Okay, I should I say quilting chair. I started quilting my Charming Squares quilt. Since this quilt, at this point, does have a home, I decided to have a little fun, quilting every other square. (See Gene, not to worry, I'm quilting the snot out of it!)










The back
I am definitely having fun with this quilt.
