Keep on keepin' on...

Hooray for the Free Motion Quilting Project.  It's keeping me motivated to get on the machine at least once during the weekdays, even if the week's been crazy.

The chemistry unit is up and rolling, parent night is over, and so tonight, I enjoyed quilting the pointy paisley pattern!
I really struggle keeping my straight lines from curving, but I feel like it lets me practice the consistency of my stitch length a bit more than the curved line designs do.
Such a great geometric texture!
I also got some fabric in the mail.  I was going for something soft, old-timey, and neutral.  How'd I do?  Is it too boring?

  5. It's tuff to get a perfect edge without a ruler, but when you stand back and look at all the triangles, you don't notice the imperfections at all. You did a wonderful job
