The first quilt I quilted was the quilt we put together in our first class. Rather than quilting an all over design, I decided to break the quilt up into its elements and quilt each element with a different motif. I quilted leaves both simple and a tropical leaf in the green corner squares and in the Orange boarder I quilted large flower and leaf design. I found 3 wonderful block designs which I free motion quilted in the large blocks, a gecko, a fish and a tropical leaf pattern.
The next quilt was one that many of you can probably identify with. (I know I can!)The woman who made this quilt had this beautiful top finished and in her sewing room. It had been in hiding since her daughter was in high school, it was intended as a graduation gift. That was 15 years ago! When her daughter asked about it, mom went on a search. Low and behold the top was complete it had just never been quilted and bound!
