Progressing My Machine Quilting

Over the years since I have been quilting, I have always quilted all my quilts. I started off, as is quite common, with the standard meander free motion quilting. That was followed by a basic loop meander and as my confidence grew, I ventured into trying more and more free motion quilting. Eventually, I talked myself into trying free motion feathers and (very timidly) tried my hand at some standard free motion feathers. My ‘feathers’ aren’t as bad as I thought they might be so I was encouraged to continue to practice them. I’m still practicing ‘feathers’ and have tried a fair range of feather variations. They are improving and I will continue on this venture:)

Along the way, I have also purchased a large number of quilting rulers. In an effort to specifically not fall into the trap of being ‘too scared’ to use them, I have made a point of creating at least a couple of dozen quilt tops from my stash.

The idea is three fold -:

- - - to use my stash
    - specifically use my quilting rulers to come up with a wide range of quilting designs and
    - become more confident in ruler quilting.

I will also combine free motion quilting within these quilts as well.

The quilts in the below galleries are my efforts to date in this venture.
