This past week I showed you the piecing for my “Taxing Scrap” Quilt, including the finalized top.
As I got ready to quilt it, I planned out several complicated designs…..
….and then realized that NONE of it was going to show. The piecing and number of fabrics was simply too complicated to show the lines of stitching.
So, WHY was I going to make it so complicated?
In the end I decided to GO BIG OR GO HOME…..

In the end, I am very happy with how the quilting looks…..
…and most importantly, it didn’t take long to do!!
Do you have a “go-to” pattern that you use when you are needing something done FAST?

I make a lot of quilts to donate. My go-to design is usually a nine patch with black or other solid border and a cornerstone.
Then a quick straight line ( or squiggle is even more forgiving) quilting makes a nice looking but quick quilt!
I am finding that these charity quilts and other scrap quilts are great ways to practice my FMQ. Even if the designs are simple, I am still learning control!!
