Another quilt
Remember these pillows? Well, I finally finished the matching quilt! I tried free motion quilting for the first time. It was really hard at first but once I got into the groove it was actually really fun! It also took a lot of time and a lot of thread! And my wrists and neck and back were very sore at the end! But I think it was worth it because I love the look of it!

Wow, that looks awesome! what is free motion quilting? is that just the way it is quilted?
Free motion quilting is when you lower the feed dogs and use a darning foot and you are the only thing control how and where the fabric moves through the machine. You also have to control stitch length by how fast you sew and move the fabric. It gets really tiring after doing it for a long time. But it's also kind of fun!
It looks great in the room. Pretty clever!
