So here is the "chunk"
This one was supposed to be following a pattern I saw on a blog that teaches free motion quilting. Ha ha. I did it my way....and it is different.
And then there is this one that I call "What If...."
And in other news, the knitting adventure continues. I am glad these don't need to be perfect - because they are NOT. Ha ha. In a couple of places it seems that I got the "yarn over" done a stitch early. I think it gives it a bit of character. I am sure the dishes won't mind a bit.

I like that idea doing each block seperate-how do you put them all together afterwards-Barbara is making dish cloths now too-love that
or from the first photo-the quilt top is already put together? I still like that they are all quilted differently
I can see a big improvement in your quilting! The stitches are more even, and that tells me you are in control. Good work......I like the last motif, the leafy one.
Your quilting is coming along great. I have yet to master paisleys. I can't seem to travel well with that design.
So...when did you ever NOT do things your way? It's one of the things that makes your work unique, Gene. I love this quilt, and am wondering with Kathy how the blocks will be joined. The FMQ makes my hands hurt just looking at it! Lol, all that twisting and turning. It's an art for sure, and yours looks better than any long arm pattern, which just looks manufactured to me. I'm not a fan of the "machine look". I'm taking your dishcloth patter with me to visit my Mom and will try it while she naps. That is, if the airport doesn't conficate my deadly knitting needles.
Gene, the quilting looks amazing to me! I do not free motion at all and I admire your ability to turn loose and do it.
Knitting, now that is a bit more in my comfort zone since at 12 I learned to either rip it out and start over or fix my mistakes. No more giant holes unless gthey were part of the pattern. I love that dishcloth pattern the best and have literally made dozens over the years.
