Skill Builder BOM

This is the color pallet I will be using for this project.  I have finished making and quilting blocks one and two. I have also chosen my thread colors for this project.  The coppery brown is for the back.  My quilt back is made of material I had in my stash.  I thought they were all fat quarters until I started ironing and cutting them.  Oops!  Well to stick with my goal of use what you have,  I just made a few randomly pieced blocks.  Here is a picture of the blocks  laid  out on the playroom floor.


I quilted my quilts as shown in the Skill Builder's Block of the Month videos.   I used my Bernina patchwork edition for this quilting.  The use of the thread holder and using an embroidery needle prevented thread problems I had had in the past.  Thanks so much for the tip about the sharp needles Alyssa.
I simply used unclosed quilting pins to baste this since it is such a small project.  Here are som pictures of my FMQ.

If you want to learn free motion quilting

I have been doing free motion quilting for awhile, but if you are intimidated by the idea check out Leah's site. She has beginner and advanced quilting video's. They are very clear and simple. Best of all she is sharing her video's for free. Check out her free motion quilting. You will be glad you did.
