I had a few squares left over from my nine-patch swap, so I took the opportunity to practice my free motion quilting, something I have always wanted to master.

If you already do your own machine quilting, you know how much fun this is!

I felt really good with this practice session, and now I can’t wait to get to the quilt tops that have piling up, waiting to be finished. My least favorite thing about quilting larger quilts is the basting step. All those pins, ugh. Does anyone else use basting spray?

 

 

 

I’m going to practice on the mini quilt tops I finished piecing this week. You will definitely see more of this from me – you can count on that!
