Free Motion Quilting, Square Flower

 

Free Motion Quilting, Square Flower

It’s a heat wave!  Well…at least it is warmer…and “plenty of sun”…makes us feel like going outside again.   I know some of you are still facing terrible weather…we are thinking of you!

Plenty of Sun!I stitched this little vase quilt so you could see The Square Flower from yesterday’s tutorial in action.

I wanted a slightly more casual effect for this quilt, so rather than using rayon on the top, I used Aurifil 28 wt cotton  on top and Aurifil 50 wt in the bobbin.   I prefer a the slightly heavier weight Aurifil whenever I use cotton for free motion quilting.  It provides a fuller look.   I stitched with a size 90 Schmetz Topstitch needle on my Bernina 820–no space for a long arm here!
