I added to the challenge unintentionally by choosing to practice on a block with narrow quilting spaces. The swirls are supposed to be circles, but many of mine had a bit of a tail, which made them look more like sea shells than tight swirls. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just not the result I was expecting.
All that said, swirls make a really cool design and overall, I'm very happy with my first attempt.
I've already incorporated the swirls into a "real" project, which I'll be ready to share later this week. Next up on the quilting practice schedule: leaves.
It is amazing how much texture is added by the quilting. Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Frances. You know, you're the one who started it all. Took my first machine quilting class from you way back in the 90s. And I'm so glad that I did!
DeleteI love all of these new quilting techniques you've been learning! It takes your projects to a whole new level!
ReplyDeleteYes it does!
