Mixing designs

I loved the Free Motion Quilt Along this past week.  For some reason adding hearts to each of the 5 designs felt like a natural progression.  I practiced adding hearts to Stippling, Sharp Stippling, Zippling, and Circuit Board.  I also added some stars into the Zippling, because the straight lines in the star worked really well with the zippling lines.

 The last design was perfect for a doll quilt I needed to finish up.  I added hearts to Loopy Lines.

I really loved how easily the hearts fit in with the loopy lines.  Adding the hearts definitely makes the quilting more interesting.















A view of the back:

I typically hand bind, but with small projects like doll quilts and table runners I like to play with different machine stitches and practice my machine binding (since it tends to not be very exact when I do it).  This time I cut the binding out at 2 1/8"  and I think it worked a little better for me. 


I've been out of town, so nothing else was accomplished this week on my list.
