FMQ Challenge

Darlene from QuiltShopGal  (formally known as SewCalGal) is sponsoring a 2015 Free Motion Challenge.   There were several options for a January challenge all ending in a pillow.  I chose the feathered star.

I like to FMQ but am still learning.  Feathers are my favorite but I suffer from the blank slate problem - I look at the empty fabric canvas and can't figure out what to do.  So for this one, I just followed the instructions!


Here is is all quilted


My actual pillow form did not arrive yet so I've just basted things together and covered another pillow.  I found a gorgeous fabric in my stash for the backing.   The day is rainy and gray so this indoor picture on my couch was the best I could do!


I'll be linking up my finish and looking forward to the next challenge!


Happy Stitching!

  2. What's funny is at work today I was doodling hearts with feathers in them for the exact same reason. Also hoping to get my January challenge done in time. Good for you!
