I’m a fan of Leah Day’s blog and have a
few favorite quilting designs from her site.
I want a new overall quilting design for a bed size quilt so this
morning before church, I looked at Leah's filler quilting designs and found 2 I
want to try out. I need a small charity quilt or two to try the designs
on before I tackle the bed size quilt.

the flowing glass but wonder how it would look on a much larger scale.
This is one of her VERY early videos.
I
really like the topographic map design and think it would work well on a large
quilt.
My JoAnn Fabric store has recently remodeled and is now offering classes. The beginner quilting class pieces the “Hole in the Barn Door” block (AKA “Shoo Fly”). Yesterday I cut several block kits from a collection of red, white and blue fabrics but only got one sewn.
I wanted to use this fabric but hesitated because the plaid was printed so OFF grain. Would you use it?
I also took a few minutes to make some sample blocks for a child comfort quilt. I chose white fabric for the contrast, but my son's comment was, "The white will get dirty." Maybe I should have used gray.
