Friendship Quilt

I decided to design a whole cloth the size of Express Your Love and incorporate the techniques that Leah is teaching. The graffiti lettering was fun, but challenging. It still lacks texture around the lettering. (Tomorrow!) This size (42x36) is really great because it is larger than any of the other pieces I have free motion quilted. I am in the process of piecing a twin-sized quilt as well as a queen-sized quilt so I can get used to quilting progressively larger pieces. I can't wait to see what Leah is going to show us this coming week!

#12 Quilt Along - My UFO - Closing In!

I have been quietly, and randomly following Leah Day's 2012 Quilt Along, doing projects whenever I have been able to find time. I just completed the microstippling on the wholecloth sampler. Now all I have to do is soak it, block it, and blind it. So far, this has been my favorite project. So much so, that I have designed my own wholecloth project to work on during 2013. I hope I can keep up with all of Leah's postings on a weekly basis in 2013. Free motion quilting is so much fun!
