I finished my April FMQ Challenge hosted by SewCalGal. The goal was to try a new marking technique for our free-motion quilting. We were supposed to lay a piece of tulle over the pattern and trace it. Then lay the tulle over the desired quilting material and trace it again. We were given a specific pattern to use. Easy enough. Here’s my piece.
I then decided it needed a bit more quilting before I could call it finished. I call it Spanish Sunrise.
I also sandwiched my mother’s quilt. All ready to go now. Tomorrow I have an appointment to do my taxes. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh?
A couple months ago, Diane Gaudynski suggested we keep a quilter’s journal. Everyone who enters The 2012 Free-Motion Quilting Challenge and also posts it here as well, will be entered this month to win a copy of A Quilter’s Notebook. Prize to be chosen the first week of May by Random Number Generator. Good luck everyone!
What did you FMQ today?

Love your rendition of Don Linn's design. Great job. I picked up some tulle at Walmarts for .97 a yard. I can't wait to give it a try.
Love the addition of the extra quilting. So was it as easy as it looks? I was going to try with one of the patterns from a Karen McTavish book. I hope it works as well for me as it did for you.
I love this kind of patterns.It really simple but stylist designs looks on the materials.Color combinations are really different.

Your interpretation of the design is great! I think his way of marking would be good in cases where either the marking has rubbed off, or if one decided to stitch a drawn design on a quilt that was already sandwiched... Your additional FMQ embellishment is really nice!
I have enjoyed seeing your FMQ. YOu do such fantastic work.
