birdy quilt

I’m still practising my free motion quilting…….I started this on thursday with the lovely Feathered Friends range by Wendy Slotboom. One big square in the centre surrounded by 12 x 6 inch squares and white homespun all around. I don’t want to spend too long on my quilt tops while I’m still learning…

I just love the look and feel of the quilting on the white homespun…..

in morning sun

but I think I should have chosen a patterned fabric for the back while I’m learning…but since this is going to be hung in the twin’s room I’m not too fussed.

Now all I need to do is find the perfect fabric for binding in my stash and finish it off once dance concerts are behind us!

And to those readers who want to free motion just go for it…I’m totally self taught with some help from blog tutorials and you tube videos!

AND DON’T FORGET TO GET YOUR ENTRY IN THE MOST EMBARRASSING GIVEAWAY…EXTENDED UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT AS WE’RE BUSY WITH DANCE CONCERTS FOR THE NEXT 2 NIGHTS!!!!!
