Day 2- Free Motion "Cursive F's"

It's not super even, and I did change scale alot, but I think it's better than my Shadow Waves. Though, to be fair, this is a design I have been doodling since sometime in middle school, so I have a bit more muscle memory for it.

After looking at more of Leah's videos, I am seriously thinking about getting a Supreme Slider. It is just constant work to move my square around, though I think part of that is because I have such a small boarder...

I've decided to go in order of difficulty for the quilting patterns instead of chronological. I figure this should work out better since when Leah started this project she knew 2 free motion fillers and I know (knew, can I say I know these others now even though I'm not very good at them?) one, stippling, although that was just me looking at a stippled blanket a friend made my daughter for her first birthday and trying to recreate it.

Of course using the blue thread on the gray surface is going to make the stitches stand out more, and you will be able to see my slip ups. Next time, I will take a picture of the back with is green with green thread and we can discuss how much better it looks when thread blends.

Confession, I broke thread between each row, but since Leah says this would be good for a thin edging or boarder, I figure it's ok. 

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully the next one will get better too!
