Free motion quilting!

It's been a busy month, with foster kittens who are into everything around the house, but I've been able to get some free motion quilting done during nap time.  I tried some "Off The Edge" quilting--the first one I made I fused a print fabric down on a larger piece of fabric then quilted around the edges--


The only problem was that the fusing didn't stick at the edges all the way around, so I had to stitch.  So, I tried again, and this time I stitched the edge, adding a border, then added enough fabric to make a baby blanket for a baby shower that I have tomorrow:



I'm a lot happier with this version!

Latest foster kittens--two sweet little boys:



They look like angels, but they are little devils!

    Hello Laura,

    Off the edge looks really good fun, it gives such effective designs, and your quilting in the borders complements the central panels perfectly. This is a technique that is on my (very long) list of things to try.

    Thank you for linking up with Free Motion Mavericks!

    Love, Muv
