Free Motion Quilting - June - I'm not the last one this time :)

I had so much fun with this one.  Started with a square, sewed some random lines and then started filling all the sections.  No rulers, just free motion and seriously I was so very surprised at the checker board squares and how they turned out.  I will definitely do that again.  What fun!!  Oh and I used silk thread for the first time.  Man was that nice.  I also have two layers of some type of  left over poly batting.  Bottom  line in the bobbin.   The quilting was tiny, I put the dime in there so you could see the scale.
