One more design before we start quilting! 🪡 This One more design before we start quilting! 🪡

This is the fourth little peek inside Lesson 6 of **Quilt It Already!**, where I'm planning and drawing the designs for my Faefolk quilt.

Today we're drawing feathered toothpaste, with feathers flowing along both sides and an echo around the outside.

I love how this design can twist and turn as it moves across the quilt. It's going to be such a pretty addition to our all-over quilting plan!

Now that we've practiced our designs, it's almost time to take them to the sewing machine and turn those drawings into actual stitches.

Come join me in Quilt It Already! You can watch all three lessons in Chapter 1 for FREE.

Sometimes it's the little details that make the wh Sometimes it's the little details that make the whole quilting design come together. 🌸

Here's another snippet from Lesson 6 of **Quilt It Already!**

Today I'm drawing two of the designs I'll be using on my Faefolk quilt: tiny pebbles and swirls for filling those awkward little spaces, and my Easy Swirl Flower.

The fillers help connect our larger designs, while the Easy Swirl Flower gives us another pretty floral motif to work into the quilting.

We're practicing on paper for now, but in the upcoming lessons, I'll show you how I actually stitch these designs onto the quilt!

This is another peek inside Lesson 6 of **Quilt It Already!**, where I'm drawing out the designs I'll be using on my Faefolk quilt.

This one is my feathered toothpaste swirl, complete with those fancy feathered plumes and all the little details that make it so pretty.

I love playing with designs on paper before I ever start quilting. It gives me a chance to figure out how everything flows together.

And don't worry, we're not stopping at the drawing board! In the next lessons, I'll be stitching these designs onto the actual quilt.

Come take a peek at the class! Chapter 1 is FREE to watch.

Here’s a little peek at what I’m planning for the Here’s a little peek at what I’m planning for the quilting on my Faefolk quilt! 🌸

I’ve been playing around with flowers, feathers, swirls, and tiny little fillers, figuring out how I want everything to flow together across the quilt.

I’m going with an all-over quilting design, but instead of repeating just one motif, I’m combining several designs to create something a little more intricate and whimsical.

These are my actual drawings and the plan I’m working from!

This is all part of Quilt It Already!, my new quilting class where we’re taking those finished quilt tops out of the closet and finally getting them quilted.

We’ve been planning and drawing our designs in Lesson 6, and now we’re moving on to the fun part: actually stitching them onto Faefolk!

Here's a little peek inside Lesson 6 of my new class, Quilt It Already!

I'm planning the all-over quilting for my Faefolk quilt, and we're starting with these sweet little clusters of flowers. I'm showing you how I draw them, move from one flower to the next, and keep the design flowing.

Right now, we're just drawing and practicing. In the upcoming lessons, we'll take these designs to the sewing machine and actually quilt them!
