I had a little time to experiment yesterday and just started “playing” with the simple shapes from yesterday’s sailboat tutorial. See the Sailboat free motion quilting tutorial HERE.
While I did iron the fabric, I didn’t bother with a ruler or rotary cutter…I just worked free hand. I used a glue stick to quickly adhere the shapes to the background.
I was in a hurry to sit down and do a little stitching…
I stitched the sailboat–just like the free motion quilted tutorial…
I stitched around the raw edges of each shape and background and then added more free motion quilting.
I think I will use this “etude” as the basis of a larger quilt…
And if I’m very ambitious, I just might bind this little quilt…
