Free Motion Craziness

 All the blocks were ready for the Rainbow String tops, 

so of course it is time to check out a different work in progress. 

The "To Be Quilted", pile is calling and doing  up  a crazy 

log cabin or two sounds like a great adventure.

    The black background lends itself nicely to some allover

quilting designs in multicolored thread. Usually, I sew myself 

into a corner, panic and drive off the quilt. Then I begin again, 

and do the same thing again.  It always seems to work out in the

end so I will get stuck in  and start sewing. 

There are three crazy log cabins in the pile.  So three 

different free motion designs will keep the quilting interesting 

for the recipients and give the sewer variety !

I think I will chose from these designs suggested in 

Joan Statz's Free Motion Quilting . 

Not too many things to fall off my tables after 

last night's clean up 

so I can jump in and start stitching!

Update!  Well some great fun was 

had and I have a nearly finished quilt.

The quilting design I used for the first of the 

crazy logs was none of the above!!

I ended up with this one. 

Here is my paper practice, 

and here is some quilting!

I managed to get all the way to the victory lap before the 

sunshine called and a new grand daughter needed visiting. 

The evening even saw a nice trim and fold.

Now all it needs is a saucy colored binding and 

I can adjust my stash report!
