Free Motion Quilting Challenge Final Month

 

I finished the final month of the challenge which was taught by Patsy Thompson. I've watched several of her videos before but had never seen this lesson in mirroring the corners and centers. I only had a small section left on my quilt so I tried to make it look like a border. I hyper quilted too. Hard to tell but there is a dark purple with hyper quilting with a light purple.

Here's the whole quilt finished.

You can't see all the quilting in the black squares but it's all done in neon colors. I learned quite a bit. I've always machine quilted my own quilts but needed to learn some new all over designs and I've learned that you can always learn a new hint or tip and these tutorials didn't disappoint.

In April I learned a new fill by Leah Day--the double stippling which I had never seen before.

In June Cindy taught us to split the area in smaller sections and use different fills.

Although I suck at it, I love Wendy Sheppard's August tutorial of jesters hats.

In November I mastered swirls and used on a quilt already.

And this month I learned how to mirror feathers and set up a feathered border.

Thanks Sew Cal Gal for this challenge.

thanks for looking.
