Reality check time! I don't do free motion quilting. I wish I did because I love how it looks but to be perfectly honest it scares me! Just the name "free motion"...I don't want free motion I want carefully controlled motion!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But with some expert guidance from the lovely HollyAnne @stringandstory (she is my FMQ guru!) I'm going to have a go for this quilt. I'm just planning out my design for now and sketched a few ideas...I won't be doing any of these haha. HollyAnne said that with the blocks being 12" each then one big design would be perhaps...a little ambitious for my first project (read: I'll make a mess of it!) so I'm modifying heavier from these original ideas but to be a bit of a rebel I might try the holly leaf design on a cushion block.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We aren't quilting in the QAL for another couple of weeks but I like to plan ahead...read: get my head around FMQ and psych myself up!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rainbowlatticeqal #coffeeringsstudio #rainbowlatticequilt #wip #machinequilting #quiltingtips #iquilt #isew #quiltersofinstagram #quilter #modernquilter #quiltwithconfidence #quiltingrockstars #fmq #freemotionquilting

More blocks means more @alisonglass Holidays gorgeousness! Yikes these need a bit of a press though.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only one more batch of blocks to go then I can lay them all out together. I hope they look good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rainbowlatticeqal #coffeeringsstudio #rainbowlatticequilt #isew #modernquilt #modernquilter #alisonglass #quiltblock #quiltdesigner #patchwork #quiltalong #sewalong #wip #quiltingproject #sewingproject

Have you watched my #justonequilt video with @jennismithsews yet? We chatted about all sorts (on and off camera!) including why I quilt, my creative inspiration, what I would do if quilting was banned and this star quilt. . #coffeeringsstudio #iquilt #modernquilter #modernquilting #starquilt #sewinginspiration #quiltdesigner #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram

Have you seen my English paper piecing article in Issue 69 of @quiltnow? It’s the second in a six part series and is all about "The great baste debate".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you a glue baster or a thread baster? Or maybe, like me, you varying your choice of basting method depending on the project.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coffeeringsstudio #quiltnow #isew #epp #englishpaperpiecing #handsewing #handsewn #eppdesigner #sewersofinstagram #makemodern #basting #gluebasting #threadbasting
