Sunflower Quilt, FMQGood Morning, Quilters and Doodlers!

For the last two weeks we have seen how to take a Doodle and turn it into a quilt.

We used Circles to create this adorable floral quilt:

This Sunflower quilt is a sampler of quilt motifs using a Medallion Composition.  (Learn more about Medallion Compositions in my Craftsy video  (50% off HERE)

All of my quilts begin as doodles–though not all of the quilt is doodled first–usually just a basic idea.

Sunflower Quilt, FMQSo YOUR challenge this week is to quilt one of YOUR doodles!

It doesn’t have to BE anything…just try one of YOUR doodles and see how it looks in thread.

I have stacks of practice doodles.  Some show promise for a bigger quilt…others are just part of the learning curve.

So when I say “The Little Village quilt only took me ONE HOUR to quilt”…what I really mean is…

This quilt took me twenty years of Free Motion Quilting practice PLUS one hour to quilt!

NOTE-The Sunflower quilt was stitched on my old BERNINA 150 with Aurifil cotton 28wt and Sulky Rayon 40wt thread.
