FMQ - June Challenge final block

This was such a fun challenge for me.  I've always loved the look of different techniques side by side and never dreamed I could actually recreate the look myself.  My thanks to Cindy Needham, our teacher this month, for giving me the push to try this.
FMQ June 2012
I had really hoped to be able to use my Juki 2010, which sits on a Start Right frame, to quilt this design on a cover I'm making for the Juki set up.  After a practice run, I realize the Juki set up just isn't senstive enough for detail work like this.  Check out my post in the Projects in Progress section.  Ughly with a capital U! haha  So I'll be quilting this design on the cover using my sewing machine and hopefully will do as good a job as I did in the block above.

Keep on stitchin'!

  1. Thanks, Marjorie. I was surprised that I could do such detailed work. Far from perfect, but I'm very pleased.
