Double Loop Vine, Free Motion Quilt Tutorial

Spring Sampler Double Loop VineGood Morning, Quilters!

How are YOUR Spring Samplers coming along?

Do you have any questions?

Last week I received a few questions on stabilization…I will discuss my method more on Friday–and we will open it up to “Open Line Friday”–Would love to hear YOUR tips and techniques…

THE SPRING SAMPLER–DOUBLE LOOP VINE

Today we will add the Double Loop Vine motif to the  two plain borders on either side of the center.  (The rows that are not pieced half square triangles.)

The Double Loop Vine is a modern motif and can be used in place of traditional feathers in any quilt border.  It is easier than Feathers too!

MARK THE QUILT

Begin by drawing a shallow wavy line along the border.

(I prefer chalk for marking.)
