I have gotten all the straight line quilting done on this lap quilt. I used the guide on the walking foot to make sure I stayed straight through the bigger squares.
I changed the thread from variegated blue to yellow and zig zagged a few lines thought the gold squares. Then I free motioned in the largest squares. I went around the rooster and added flowers. I also free motioned a rooster in one blue square. kinda fun!
Before I bind the first quilt I was anxious to get started on the sampler. I've stabilized the straight seams with invisible thread. I'm doing the sashing because I have the right colour. I may need to buy something for the actual blocks. I want subtle when I try the curved outlines in the sampler blocks.
I really like MQing and I can see I've gotten rusty so I'll need to keep my skills up. It is very true- use it or lose it!

I thought that was a rooster. Wonderful. Great colours in your other quilt.
Love those colors.
Wow, beautiful quilting!
I need to do a baby quilt next. It's true you do get rusty. Machine quilting (free motion) is fun though.
looking great...pretty colours too
Lovely quilt and great quilting!
Looking good! I don't get rusty so much as lazy, every so often I realize that I'm doing alot of meander quilting and have to really make an effort to try something more ambitious!
Looks like a beautiful quilt, I love that rooster! Have fun with the quilting!
Beautiful...love the colors and your MQing. It must feel so good to be sewing and completing your quilts. Blissful sewing...
Gorgeous quilting! Can't wait to see the whole thing.
Love the colours!! I'm still having a hard time settling down to master machine quilting. I think I just need to get stuck in.
