Tuesday night, I decided to do a bit of free motion quilting (FMQ.) So I simply took two pieces of fabric cut a little bigger than I need and a piece of batting to go between them. I layered it up, clicked on the Leah Day Craftsy class and watched how to do a design.
Then I sat at the machine and got started.
Here are pictures of both sides.
The Blue Side--- I like it!
The Red side - I like it too!
Since the sun washed out half of one picture of the red - I took the good part of it to show you a close up of the texture. I just had to take pictures in the sun because it has been raining so much lately.
Now I confess that the design changed a little in my hands. I started to make "Snake Paisley" but this doesn't quilt look like it. One thing I did was work the scale too small. But still, I really like it. I am very happy with this square.
Now I want to know - which color goes on top? Which do you like best?
The truth is, I will probably use the one that looks best in the overall quilt design. And the other will shine on the "back" -or as I like to call it "The other Front!"
