Quilting; Wingin’ It

I made my first ever quilting project a week ago and forgot to take in-progress pictures of it. I almost forgot to do the same for the second one so I don’t have pictures of the squares I cut out but here’s the rest.

I found the fleur de lis fat quarter and matching colors in Walmart the other day and decided to make a little square for my sister who loves fleurs de lis.

I had a brain fart and tried to bind the quilt before actually quilting it so ignore those pins on the side. I still have to work on the squaring up of the backing for doing the binding with the backing though.

I decided to quilt it with straight lines to accentuate the middle square and the pretty blue thread.

Next I sketched a curly heart and had to re-draw it because the position just didn’t look right the first time. Next it’s time to put the foot on. I included some pictures incase there’s anyone who would like to see kind of how it’s done (I know I needed it).

I really need to practice free-motion quilting…

Unbinded and finished product. I watched tutorials on Youtube to figure out how to fold the mitered corners. Like I said earlier, I need to work on squaring up everything.

And done.
