A gorgeous friend of mine who is very creative herself asked me to make a quilt for her newly born niece in India.
Obviously I said "Of course I can." She sent some fabric to me, gorgeous Farmer's Market and I got to sewing, then I looked at the pics she'd sent of what she wanted and saw the stippling on the quilt.
I quietly shat myself, then ordered a darning foot. It arrived, I practised for a while then decided to jump right in. After unpicking those two blocks (sigh) I tried again with bigger swirls.
Here, my friends is the result of my jumping right in:

Oh my goodness, that is gorgeous!
I have a free motion foot but I haven't tried it on a quilt. Did you have any trouble trying to keep the speed and swirl sizes even while you were doing it?
I've signed up for a class in February, but it's quietly scaring me silly....
It looks great - I've always wanted to try the free motion quilting but am too scared I'll wreck the quilt!
Sel, it is BEAUTIFUL. What an awesome job.
Selina - it is stunning!
beautiful!
now tell me how did you find it...is all I need a free motion foot and lower my feed dogs!
I think I need to get one and just try hard at it before I go near a quilt!
your quilts look fab!

I love that wrinkly look too. I know where to come for advice when my meagre quilting effort needs whatever you call that part of it (is that the actual quilting part or the whole process?)!
