November Free Motion Quilting Challenge
This month’s Free Motion Quilting Challenge at SewCalGal‘s site was provided by Sarah Vedler and it was all about spirals. Sarah is a quilt and block-of-the-month designer, an embroidery designer and also free motion quilts.
So our challenge was to learn to do spirals. Well, I did two rows of spirals, and then I thought, well these could also be rectangles. And then I did some squares, and finally some triangles.It’s a pretty versatile concept and I could see it as a background fill.
We’ve got one more month to go in the challenge and it has been a lot of fun. SewCalGal has been generous with her time and knowledge. The Challenge also has a Yahoo group that allows us to share our monthly projects. I feel like I “know” quilters from around the world now!

Great take on the spirals – I especially like those triangular ones! All these designs would be perfect for an ethnic quilt.

This is so pretty, Jenny. I love how you adapted the motif for spiral triangles and Greek Key squares.

Thanks Rebecca! I was just trying different styles and liked how some of it turned out.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead
of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read.
I will certainly be back.
