Just look as some of the quilting. This is free motion quilting. I just embraced and went with it. There is some straight line quilting, mostly to outline the blocks.
I was not enjoying free motion quilting when I started. I was pushing the pedal to the floor and trying to keep up with my hands.Then I read somewhere that there is no need to hit the pedal at full speed. We are not in a race. Sewing machines, much like a cars, have different speeds that we control through the pedal.
I had not thought about that, and it changed how I was sewing.
"You are here" in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Echo quilting and a little water like quilting.
Reminds me of water flowing.
I don't know how this happened. I just started sewing and my hands just moved to create it. I think it is very cute.
My husband said this looks like electric guitars. Which is what I thought. It is the same as the water above, just positioned differently.
Scallops/ shells
back of the scallops/ shells
This is what the back looks like. I would not have chosen white for the back, but I am very fond of it. It does show my mistakes, but it also shows the designs. Very dramatic.
This quilt is not far from being finished. Just a little more quilting, burying the rest of the threads, and the binding. I hope to have this finished in the next two weeks. I better get busy.
