A Scrappy Picnic - finished

A Scrappy Picnic (73" x 73")

I started with this grid-circuit style quilting, but soon tired of it......

so one row has some swirls....

some playing with stars and fillers....

some zigzaggy randomness....

and some loopy-loops.

I knew this quilt would be staying with me, so I figured I could play around with some quilting.  It's something that I never do!  I stay with my pantographs;  my comfort zone.....I never allow for "play and practice" time.  

I know practice makes perfect, but....... I think I'll be sticking with my pantographs. 
:D

UFO - DONE!

  1. Congrats on a quilty finish! I'm trying some of those loopy things on a border and it is HARD to keep them somewhat even. Looks like you had some fun with your designs!

  3. I think it looks like a good 'useful' quilt and I really like the random quilting patterns, it breaks up the even-ness of the pattern. I know that I get bored doing the same pattern all over a quilt and tend to break it up a bit.

  4. PS - I really like the block pattern, very modern and fresh looking. Is it one of your own design, or did you find it somewhere?

  7. LOVE the quilting on this one! I think it looks great with all the fun patterns. The more you play with all the different free motion patterns, the easier it gets, but keeping it even is always a trick. So gad you are getting some quilting done.
