I have been working on quilting the Around the World Quilt. This is done via free-motion quilting on my sewing machine, not on a long-arm machine. I do it myself. I always have trouble deciding how to quilt the quilts, but this one just seemed to naturally call for circles. My brain saw circles right away, and since it's "A-Round" the World quilt, it's a perfect fit! It's really easy to do, too, although some of my circles are a little wobbly. I'm getting better at this free motion stuff, and not so leary of it either. I have learned that a little faster is better than little slower. Going to slow gives me too big of stitches. I am finding a very comfortable speed for my movements with the quilt. Practice makes perfect! (If you click on the pictures, you can see a enlarged photo of it.)
