We’re playing with swirl variations this week, som We’re playing with swirl variations this week, some loose and flowy, some a little more structured. Come see Chapter 4 of Quilt As Desired class and quilt with me. I am LOVING this project!
We are stumbling through this class. Getting our p We are stumbling through this class. Getting our practice in. That is what makes you better. PRACTICE. There's no cheat code, sadly. Just work through the lessons. We will make some yuck stitches and that is OKAY! Just keep going, prettiness is on the other side of all this work.Come join us at Quilt Class if you want to quilt along. This class is available as standalone or part of the club.

In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are id In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are ideal for borders and sashing:Swirls in a borderSwirls are a classic FMQ design, but they are not the easiest to master. When I first started quilting, my swirls were always a little too pointy or just kind of strange looking. Honestly, mine still sometimes come out a little funky. That’s okay. We stitch anyway and keep building that rounded movement.Ribbon candyRibbon candy is beautiful and traditional, but let’s just say it can feel a bit hard. We try a looser approach too, and I show you a version I used in the borders of my Dilly Dally quilt that I absolutely love.Wishbone loopsWishbones are a personal favorite. I usually quilt them as a filler, especially inside flower centers. In this chapter, we take that familiar design and try it in a border space to give it a new role.Join in at Quilty Club - http://www.quiltyclub.com/
