We all think that having a bad hair day is not a good thing, but a “Bad Hair Day” quilting design is just the ticket for practicing circles in ALL directions….
It would be great quilting for a scrap quilt where you want lots of texture, or just as a practice piece to help you learn to move your hands in ALL directions!!

When you look at this design, your first thought may be, “It looks TOO HARD for me.”
That couldn’t be FURTHER from the truth.
I love the texture that is so easily added to your blank alternating blocks…..
It is as easy as “JUMPING OFF A LOG”…… sorry….couldn’t resist!!

As part of my “QuiltCon Alternative Retreat”, I spent some time quilting…..just trying different things!!
I started playing with 2-inch borders….seeing how many ways I could quilt them.
Here is my first set….
They were both easy to quilt and, with some refining, they will make fun border designs!!
Next came these four designs….
As you can see, I am NOT good at feathers (2nd row from the top)!!
I especially like the 3rd one, and the bottom one has promise too!
I found a little space on another practice piece and tried two more designs…
I love what can be done with the top row of designs. It will be especially fun to play with!!
This is EXACTLY what I wanted to do on my “retreat” and I am so thankful for the decision!!

Last week, we looked at the Wishbone design, which is just a series of swoops and loops!
This week, we continue swooping and looping, but in a different orientation.
Welcome to RIBBON CANDY!!
This is a magnificent design for sashing and small borders, and once you get the motion down, you can Ribbon Candy ALL day long!!

Today, let’s quilt a design that is perfect for sashing or narrow borders…..
I love how it looked in this sashing…..
AND, quilting the sashings this way was an easy way to stabilize the quilt before the more intense quilting began!!
