Improvised Quilting!

I have never really felt comfortable with improvised 

piecing...


So I thought I'd try my hand at improvised quilting!


Sort of a straight meander....



I just began sewing, left, down, back, right, across....


wherever my machine took me!





At least I can say this mini is finished!


Constructive criticism eagerly anticipated!

Happy sewing!

Your quilting is wonderful and perfect for that gorgeous little quilt!

Looks fantastically modern Suz!!! I love how you just followed your instinct with this rather than sitting and working it all out to be 'accurate' or 'even'!! Hugs!

It looks good to me.

Well done... I'm not sure I would dare to take on improv quilting. In fact all kinds of quilting freak me out. Maybe I ought to give this a try just to be more daring.

It looks brilliant and I think that it is the right type of quilting for that mini. It accentuates all those angles. Well done.

Great idea to try this out on a mini. You get to practice and the quilting is done too. Love the idea.

No Criticism here! It is fantastic! Looks like your machine led you on the right path :)

I can't even quilt properly, let alone improvised quilting! Have you got any tips for new quilters? my fabrics pucker and they end up being quilted folded over!

It looks great! I love blue and grey together.
The backing is a very different choice from some I've seen. Good to see more floral fabrics being used =D

It looks very modern. It's good when you start something that you have never tried before and you end up with a finish. Was your mojo hiding under that quilt?

Deborah said...

I LOVE the design....all around a lovely piece.....wow to the backing!

Leanne said...

I love it, a great idea and it works really well with this quilt.
