Happy Folk Quilt – Gingerbread – 2nd In Progress

Happyfolk Quilt I last chatted about the progress of my Happyfolk quilt here. I’ve been slow moving on this one. Busy with other lovelies, I guess, but my heart is right here in this one though. It has all my favorite things happening…..low volume, Dresden plates, gold, peach. I’m in love with the color palette….

Happyfolk Quilt – Gingerbread – In Progress

Happyfolk I’ve started a new quilt this week. I designed this one late fall last year, but ended up giving it a huge adjustment just this past January. The blocks will be pretty big and each block features a Dresden in low volume fabrics. A double pointed Dresden! So much work! There’s not even that…

This chapter focuses on organic and curved movemen This chapter focuses on organic and curved movement, where the goal is less about perfection and more about flow. Paisley, toothpaste swirls, organic squiggle lines, and S-curves all ask for a slightly different kind of attention, but together they build a really solid foundation for all-over quilting.This has been one of my favorite chapters to stitch. 👏 I really enjoyed this one.quiltyclass.com
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/
