It has been a while since I have done a post on this project.
Honestly I haven't been happy with my progress and the project has been sped up
so I knew there was no way I could keep up. So it has been sitting there in it
bag since the end of May I think. Over the last couple week I have been
thinking about it I should at least keep going even if I can't keep up. I
really want to improve my FMQ, so I pieced the next 2 blocks ready for
quilting.
Finally I got to the 4 pinwheel blocks and
after some warm up on my Celtic Solstice quilt doing the borders. I got them
completed. So here they are.
My spirals are rubbish but I had a-ha moment with the pebbles I think I have them worked out but need to work on them in a larger size.
This one is very interesting how it turned out.
One of my favourites
My other favourite.
I am stilling having problems with some designs but there was a few designs I am now starting to enjoy like wiggly lines, zig zags and straight lines especially if I
don't have to mark the blocks. That is my major problem, marking the
blocks I just can't see the marking clear enough to follow them and I think
that is really putting me off. So these blocks I only marked the 8 inch square
in the middle for guidance and went for it after watching Leah's And Josh's
tutorials on each block. I must admit there is improvement in my technique;
thank goodness I was starting to think I wasn't going to get passed the basics.
There is hope for all of us who think we are not good enough.
Until next time
Keep Free Motion Quilting
We will get there in the end; it just may
be the long way round.
