Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #124

While teaching a recent Free Motion Ruler Quilting Class I showed the students how to use a large version of this funky star to fill a block.

I began to wonder if it would work as an all over Free Motion Quilting Design and after working out the repeat in a drawing App I have to say that I am very happy with the results.

Now it’s time for you to help me name this weeks new design.

Comment below or on the post for this design on Facebook and/or Instagram to suggest a name or vote for your favourite.

The winner will be chosen by popular vote on Sunday July 28 at 6:00 PM (Pacific).

Oh what fun! This design has its name.

Thank you and congratulations to Linda Rhoades of Council Idahofor susggesting the winning name of "Twinkle"!

Stitch a V shape to Start.

Continue stitching V shapes.

Divide the starting line of the previous V into imaginary thirds and use these points as your crossovers.

Did you know that drawing (doodling) is the best way to design or learn how to stitch a new Free Motion Quilting Design?

This allows you to work out the directionality and flow of the design.

Stitching and of course thread choices then bring the design to life!

Stitch this design with a repeat of feather, heart, feather, heart, feather, heart.
Work the bottom feather shape first, then the middle and finally the top.
Stitch the heart in the opposite direction to the feather shape that it is filling for better “flow”.
Echo over to travel.
Right leaning feathers will travel to the right and left leaning feathers will travel to the left.
