Feathers and swirls

Learning new free motion quilting designs is always fun, especially when you see that what you where nervous about or scared to try out is not even close to being hard.

I took Angela Walter's Free motion quilting with feathers class on craftsy, and after watching ALL the videos I jumped right in and started quilting Kayleigh's new (but old) quilt.  Its made with Kayleigh old flannel blankets so it already has that 'used' look, and I love it!

 



I really like feathers and I am more than certain I will try it in many different ways.

Linking up with Leah Day's FMQ Friday @ The Free Motion Quilting Project.

Happy quilting

  3. I love this...did you do the feathers first and then the swirls or is this one continuous design? You did a fantastic job...I imagine Angela Walters class would be excellent. I bought her book 'Freemotion Quilting' last year and have learned heaps from it.

  4. Your quilting is just beautiful. You have really learned how to handle all of that quilt bulk on your home machine. Do you have a super slider? I think I need one.

  15. visiting from sew many ways link up. This is gorgeous. I am impressed with your quilting, I keep sticking to the same old stuff as I know how to do it. I should branch out a bit and try new. Well done for doing that.

  17. Your FMQ on this quilt is AWESOME! I have Angela's Craftsy course, too, but don't yet feel confidant enough to do a real project. Your photos are an inspiration to try a real project soon.
    Thanks for sharing!

  23. Wow, that's beautiful! I have both of Angela's FMQ classes on Craftsy, but I haven't watched them yet. You've inspired me to move them to the top of the list!
