The challenge this month was fun - making quilt tiles. I found I cannot sew a straight line free motion, so I drew out my tile lines prior to quilting. Maybe one day, but unlike regular sewing, where I can eyeball a straight line, I can't seem to do that with those feed dogs dropped!!
So, here's my last practice piece on the fabric that will become a block keeper. I'm using variegated thread on a dark olive green fabric. In order for anything to show up, I had to change the color intensity.

I think this makes a very unique pretty look on a large piece of fabric, don't you?
Keep on stitchin'!
Your tiles look really nice. Glad to hear you like this design and Angela's tutorial.
