Block 105 of 368

This is yet another tester block of some free motion stitching.  I was playing with free motion stiches from Leah Day's library for the March block of Span the Distance in Stitches project.  I found sea weed flower and just love how funky it feels.  It also works well with my preferred motions while free motion quilting - I like gentle waves with the periodic quick turn.

To test the block I pulled out a front and back block that was close in colors to my main block.  I also wanted to test using a contrasting thread in a shade of red - this is a lovely deep burgundy I happened to have on the machine.  Spray baste the block and start sewing.

Another successful experiment in FMQ!

  1. The quilting is fabulous on both blocks, If I am allowed a favorite, it would be the second one because I really like the black, white and red color combination.

    1. Thank you! this was a fun one for this 368 project as I DO like both sides a lot - that doesnt always happen. I am also a fan of black white and red, so dramatic.

  3. I too am a sucker for black, white and red. (I even have a project in progress in those colors.) I also like that your blue/green fabric looks like a map. Great work on the FMQ!
