Presenting my first finish for the First Quarter FAL 2013:
I started this project on May 2nd, 2012. Listed it in several FAL posts, but somehow it always got overlooked. Do you remember what it looked like?
It's a little wobbly because I used my less quality fabrics and I believe the white was a sheet from my friend. I knew I will not make a whole quilt out of it, just wanted to try what it looked like if I strip pieced the fabrics and used the large curved templates as opposed to cut out the individual patches one-by-one. It doesn't look bad, but will try the patches anyway.
As some of you know I signed up for Leah Day's class Free Motion quilting a sampler on Craftsy with the intention of getting an idea of how to quilt my blue and white baby quilts. She had these 3 patterns I liked and wanted to practice so that's what I decided to use.
So here are the finished pictures after washing:

Close-up paisley stitching:
Close-up ring crossing pattern:

That's all for now, I'm in the process of deciding what pattern to use on the blue-white baby quilts. Stay tuned! :)
'Til we blog again! :)
