I have been sitting pondering for days what free motion quilting designs to use. I guess after I had hurt my writs a few weekends ago it gave me more than enough time to think about it (its much better by the way), but as I had the quilt set up inside the throat of my sewing machine, I still had no idea, so I just went with what felt right.
I love swirls, the texture and flow is just beautiful, I think together with the stippling I used and the circles inside the sashing its a great combination.
There is not much to say about the quilting, so I thought of sharing a few pictures. They are after all worth a 1000 words, so I will let them speak for themselves, :-)
The following pictures were taken from a completely different angle, and I think the light falling from behind really shows off the texture...
Now all that is left to quilt is the white borders and the outside pieced borders. I am thinking feathers... If you'd like to read up previous posts on this baby quilt click HERE.
Happy quilting.

The swirls are absolutely lovely. It's nice to just goes with what feels right, isn't it. I definitely think that's what ends up suiting the quilt best!
The soft colours of this quilt is gorgeous and definitely suits the swirls :)

The swirls are a great addition! Glad to hear you are having fun quilting again and that your wrist is much better, too! Those photos are beautiful. I don't think you could ever have too many of them!

It really is hard sometimes thinking of a design to use in a quilt! You are doing a great job at this and I bet you're really enjoying yourself!
Beautiful job! A swirl design is always a great choice!
Oh my goodness! This is so pretty. Your swirls are just gorgeous. I need to get comfortable with those. Hey, when you did the triple circles in the sashing, did you make any marks? They look fabulous.
