practice in machine quilting...









































The stitches don't show up well on some of the colors of silk,
but I am using the strips for practice on various machine quilting patterns.

My friend Emma told me that Frieda Anderson's blog has some good tips on machine quilting, and I also have my notes from a class I took several years ago, along with several magazine articles that had good tips and examples...




The secret is no secret at all: PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!

With 72 strips on this quilt, plus an extra square, I will be able to try a number of different designs. Some colors will photograph better than others, so I may post a few more pictures in a day or two...
