I finished this quilt top back in January. But Strip Twist has been hanging around my sewing room because I had no clue how to quilt it. Procrastination time is over -- my April OMG is to quilt this.
And because I need motivation to get it quilted and to continue to try new things, I'm going to be a #BraveQuilter and link up with Julie @ Pink Doxies -- I'm going to do dot-to-dot quilting. There's no turning back now that I've spoken it into the universe.
I recently watched Angela Walters: Dot to Dot Quilting (this is an affiliate link whereby I receive a small commission if you purchase the class). This is a great class, and I'm no longer afraid to try new FMQ motifs (okay maybe still a little bit afraid, but not so afraid not to try new things). I'm surprised at how motivated I was to jump in after watching this class. Now to muster that same motivation and courage to get this one quilted.
Will you be a #BraveQuilter this month?
Good for you Anja. It's really hard to take those steps out of your comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Dot to dot is fun, and Angela is a great instructor.
ReplyDeleteAnja, this quilt is fantastic! Love those bright colours and those dotty fabrics! Can't wait to see this one quilted!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors in the quilt. Vi know you can quilt it. Go for it Anja.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!! Love Angela's classes.
ReplyDeleteI'm out here cheering you on, too! Yes, speaking it into the Universe has that power of declaring intent. I also know AW is an amazing instructor, and can't wait to see her instruction come to life in your quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I look forward to seeing what the dot to dot quilting looks like.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with quilting this one, I'm sure you will do a fabulous job! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so where you are with quilting! Flimsies hang around my studio for months as I either ignore them or actively think about a quilting plan. Even though I'm not great at machine quilting I find that once I have a plan I can do it and you can too! I've heard Angela is a great teacher and I'm fascinated by her dot-to-dot method. It just makes sense! So go for it girlfriend and let's be brave together!
ReplyDeleteStrip Twist is so pretty Anja! I like that thought you have: "Speaking it out into the universe". Best wishes meeting your goal!
ReplyDeleteYou will love dot-to-dot. You are right, there will be no going back :)
ReplyDeleteooh looking forward to seeing how you do this - great colourful and happy looking quilt!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your finish :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with this one.
