I’m taking part in Leah Day’s Building Blocks Quilt Along to learn Free Motion Quilting. Leah has us starting out with the basics. This will be a skill building quilt along for the year. So far, so good!
Stitcher’s Garden Block No. 7. Twin needle stitching in background.
Stitcher’s Garden Block No. 8. More twin needle stitching in background and pintuck foot used in center of flower.
Close up of pintucks. I used two different colors of thread, and the lighter thread is showing up better.
Stitcher’s Garden using Batiks Classes at Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shop, Roanoke, IN held the third Tuesday and third Thursday of each month.
Here is my first completed quilt for the new year. Toes In the Sand Pattern by Jaybird Quilts using the Hex N More Ruler. Love Julie’s ruler. Julie’s patterns are very well written with clear and easy to follow directions and diagrams. I was very happy that all the points in the blocks matched up so perfectly. The Hex N More Ruler is designed including four shapes, each with four sizes, all in one ruler. The shapes are triangles, hexagons, half hexagons, and diamonds.
I used all Batiks for this quilt.
Close up of a few blocks.
I love the Moda Batik for the back, and also the All-In-One Flange Binding made with left overs from the pieced blocks.
This quilt is being offered as a Block of the Month at Fabrics and Friends Quilt Shop in Roanoke, IN.
