I spent this afternoon at my new machine and was able to finish the Charity quilt that I started when I was shopping for Julio, my Juki 2200QVP Sit-Down machine.
To say that I am thrilled with the results would be the understatement of the year…..
I quilted 9 wreaths using the Westalee rulers and then just started adding bits and pieces to the open areas. I used rulers for fill designs, rulers for border designs, free motion squiggles and free motion straight lines……
I have found that the rulers work wonderfully and the larger doodling is easy to accomplish. I can see that I will need to practice on the smaller FMQ designs to gain the fine-motor skills needed!!
I even got brave and started working on the borders for the brown stripe quilt. You remember this one…..I was pulling my hair out over it about 10 days back (see my post “FMQ With rulers is NOT for the faint hearted).
AND, the results were spectacular……
So far I haven’t had a single moment of buyers remorse!!!
One thought on “One quilt done….MANY more to come”
It looks like you definitely made the right decision. And it looks like you have another addiction – the good sort of course. Great work with the quilting on both quilts.
