🧵 Free motion Quilt an Entire Quilt LIVE?! Plus a FREE Quilt Pattern!🪡
My own quilt is on my Bernina longarm today! That’s unusual - and fun for me 😄 The quilt is scrappy…entirely created from my stash…and has Little House on the Prairie for a sweet backing!
This quilt is an original design (inspired by my great-aunt Nancy) AND I’m sharing the piecing diagram with you! Look for the PORCH SWING link below.
Ok, about the free motion quilting…topics include:
loading the pieced backing and the quilt
choosing thread color
choosing design
actual quilting in REAL TIME, with quilt advances, tips on squaring, etc.
I'm quilting an edge-to-edge free motion design I call "Hibiscus". Edge-to-edge means that the same quilting design or motif repeats across the quilt from one edge to the other. There's no stopping for blocks or borders or even thread color changes. Just that one all-over Hibiscus design.
When planning this quilt, I initially envisioned it as a striking two-color quilt, but for my version, I went scrappy, pulling together the warm golds/caramels/touches of pink from my stash.

NOTE: it’s a one-page pattern:
measurements and layouts for the blocks and entire quilt
basic quilt piecing knowledge are all that’s required
strip-piecing friendly
