Hello friends!
Do you make progress in your quilting? I feel that I am less and less productive, because I have too many projects in the works: four, three of them started in the last 2 weeks!
So here is one of them (actually, the starting point!):
If you recall this quilt, this project started the same: a few pretty designs; I thought to sew only a few, in different sizes, to see the possibilities.
Fabric is Kona cotton and the tread is …
.. the fabulous Aurifil 12wt – yes, that very thick thread!
And this is the second free motion quilting design.
And the third: a square free motion quilting design.
Then I added new designs and I changed my mind about what project I want to make. And I just can’t only stare at the beautiful designs, I have to sew them. Because they are fun!
Now, it’s not only about the textured quilting, it’s about color, too. Meanwhile, I couldn’t resist playing with colors – only on my computer, this time!
What do you think?
It’s a cute idea?
Oh My God idea?
Or blah, it’s not for me?
One thing that can’t be neglected: the designs are continuous – quilting done from start to finish in one continuous line!
Stay tuned for more!
Meanwhile, if you need some tips for free motion quilting designs with very thick thread, check out this tutorial.

Happy quilting!
They are AMAZING!! designs and beautiful quilting!! you are so talented and skilled! thank you take care and Happy Sewing from Iowa!
Thank you so much, Melody, I am glad you like them – sewing them is addictive!
These are wonderful. I do want to know more. How do you design so that it is nearly perfect – computer – free hand? If you’re doing the design free-motion, how do you know how much room to leave between lines? Beautiful.
The design is made on computer, then I transferred it to fabric and I quilted it. Not hard at all to follow the lines with needle and thread!!
Beautiful, as usual, Geta! These are Oh My God idea, as is beautifully created. I love them.
Thank you so much, Judy, glad to hear you love the ideas.
absolutely BEAUTIFUL
Thank you! I am glad to like them, sewing them is a lot of fun!
What do you use to transfer to the fabric? Trace with a chalk pencil or what brand of marker? Beautiful work!!
I use washable markers designed for kids.
