Last week I showed you my Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) on a doll quilt, which was made to match the fairy panel quilt. I've been practising FMQ on a second doll quilt, this time to match the Peter Rabbit quilt.

Once again, I've done a log cabin style quilt, made entirely from random width scraps of fabric. Even the batting is pieced together, using left over scraps.

This time I tried a rectangular shape for FMQ. As you would expect it's becoming easier with practice and thanks to my newly acquired quilting gloves. They really do make a difference!!! It only took two sittings to complete the FMQ for this little quilt.

I used binding left over from my Scrappy Blocks Quilt. Ha ha... I really miscalculated the binding on that quilt, as I still have quite a bit left.

I totally forgot to take a photo of the back of the quilt, so you'll just have to believe me when I say there's hardly any puckering on the back. I really am getting better at basting. I've used the same backing fabric as the original Peter Rabbit quilt.

This little mini quilt ended up at 18.5" x 19.5"...

Just the right size for Bubba and Hop Hop.

This looks very packable! I love your center block with the random fabrics around it. It is going to be packed around everywhere with Bubba and Hop Hop!
ReplyDeleteFab FMQ'ing Pam!
ReplyDeletelove the rectangle design for this! i am still scared of fmq. i will try again one of these days...
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors! FMQ looks like a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteSo cute Pam - your quilting looks fabulous!!! I'm very envious! One day....
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's so adorable and your stitching is great. I love the binding fabric you chose. That dark color with it's simple pattern really set off the rest of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your work Pam, I always like reading that there are people out there who are not yet perfect in their crafts. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Aww this is so sweet :)
