I have started the process of quilting Anna's birthday quilt. The first thing I do is stabilize the quilt sandwich by stitching in the ditch around the blocks (the butterflies in this case,) or sometimes I quarter a quilt by stitching in the ditch along row lines. This quilt doesn't lend itself to quartering very well, so I will do the blocks. Fancy stuff comes later. And speaking of "fancy stuff," I found a FABULOUS blog for free-motion quilters, showing hundreds of free-motion "stitches". I'm gonna try out a couple on this quilt. Only problem is there are so many interesting and exciting patterns to choose from! How to decide which one??? Every stitch has a short (@ 1-2 min) video tutorial! Take a look-see at the Free Motion Quilting Project! Got a favorite? Let me know!
Here I am, starting the quilting of Anna's Painted Lady!
