Materials
Carol Doak pattern; fabrics from stash; So Fine thread
What was your inspiration?
I wanted to be a participant in this project. (Carol often has prizes just for entering photos of your progress!) I also wanted to make use of my stash. I didn't buy any new fabric for this project.
What are you most proud of?
I used some of the information from the Wendy Butler Berns class and other free-motion classes to quilt the top with virtually no marking ahead of time. I did establish some curves for guidance by marking around the bottom of a cone of thread.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Use the walking foot to stabilize along straight lines throughout the quilt before starting the free-motion work. I found that using 505 Spray Baste makes quilting much easier because there is no weight from pins. I spray outdoors and then come inside to smooth the pieces onto the batting. I don't get tucks on the backing when I quilt when I use this method. Don't be afraid to start!!
