Beautiful evening for a night out in Rochester MN event "Thursdays on First and Third" - nice crowd out for food, drink, music and just a good time!

Modern Quilt Top FINISHED!

This was such a fun project, I've been pushing myself to get it done, I was trying to have it completed in time to post the link on Leah Days site, but missed by a few hours - a gal has to sleep ya know....
I sewed the blocks on my Viking, but did the quilting on my Sunshine 16 Quilter following Leah's instructions for her modern quilt.
The quilting designs Leah suggested to use make it somewhat of a sampler. Some of the stitches I didn't think I'd care for, but went with them anyway, and now I see I'll be using them in the future, "Loopy Line" was my favorite, also used Circuit Board, Stipple, Sharp Stipple, and Zippling. Another stitch I threw into some of the smaller areas was Pebble.

After working on this "quilt along" I'm going to keep my eyes open for more, sure like the directions she gives, and sort of like Craftsy, I can go back to look later......

As always, Spencer my cat felt he needed to get in on the action, just HAD TO check out my Sunshine 16 Quilter!

Along with the Craftsy class, I'm following along with Leah Day for her free motion project. The first week we created our wonky blocks, then we put them together for our quilt top. Next will be doing free motion boarders to enclose samples of various quilting designs, FUN!

I'm taking a Craftsy class on line to learn more about free motion quilting, this is what I've done so far. It's lots of fun and a great way to learn at your own pace. The large bordered piece will get lots of detail added as shown on the small practice piece.
