My daughters leave for school this week and decided that they each wanted one of my “Doodle Quilts” to add color to their dorm room. (They are twins and share a room.) We quickly chose a color scheme and off I went to my sewing room to do that which I enjoy most: doodling on fabric. One quilt is nearly finished, but the other will need to be shipped after school has started. Fortunately, college students LOVE mail–especially packages. I guess this means that I have another project next Wednesday’s Work in Progress post–stay tuned…

This is so awesome! What an inspiration to try to do my with FMQ. It’s gorgeous – no wonder your girls wanted some for their dorm. 🙂
theinboxjaunt
LOL-I had to look up what FMQ meant! I also-FMQ’d several notes to them within the quilting: like “study hard” and “call home”. I’m sure they’ll see them over time!

Those are amazing! How much thread do you plan on for a top like that? Any pre-planning or do you just sort of stick to the rows and quilt whatever comes to mind? Have fun with the second one.
theinboxjaunt
Thank you! I used one full spool of Aurifil thread. I do minimum pre-planning–I like to jump right in. The one thing I do is draw a central square and a few other lines to divide up the spaces. I will be featuring more doodle quilts and tutorials in the future so check back soon!
