What was your inspiration?

Leah Day

What are you most proud of?

This was the most thrilling and the most terrifying quilting journey I have taken. Each 15" block has a unique free motion pattern. I encountered error codes on my sewing machine that I didn't know it had. It took me days just to figure out the magic combination that would work on my machine. I almost quit three times, but I kept coming back until I finally got it. Thank you Leah.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Leah was so helpful on getting me to figure out what went wrong after I modified my free motion foot. Just from a photo she told me to remove one rubber band loop and keep practicing. It worked.
