I LOVE the free-motion quilting you did on my wraotmelen quilt and that you didn’t have to go over any of the seeds- turned out beautifully!

I want to design my own nine patch
I absolutely loved this presentation! How well organized you are, and how exciting is was to see the transformations that occur with simple changes. I’m a beginner quilter and have been wondering how to take the next step from following to the letter someone else’s design to producing something much more personal. I’m so inspired, and after viewing this tutorial I’m also much more confident and feeling ready to branch out.
