Quilt Finish

     I finished the quilting on the Bass Time quilt and the binding is waiting. A few days ago I came across a roll of “Quilt & Tear on a Roll”. I had bought it years ago on a shop hop when I was just learning FMQ; however, I had not opened the roll until this week. I was trying to decide what design to quilt and thought it would be fun to quilt a simple fish. I looked in Laura Lee Fritz's book, 250 Continuous-Line Quilting Designs for Hand, Machine & Long-Arm Quilters. I found a great large mouth bass and seaweed. I was hesitant to quilt it without using a guide and luckily I have the roll of “Quilt & Tear on a Roll”. I traced fish going both directions.  I pinned pieces where I wanted the fish. 

 After quilting, it came off very easily.

I free-handed the seaweed and loopy meander to fill in.
The backing is pieced from leftover fabric.

I'm linking up with Alycia's Finished or Not Friday.


When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.”

Have a great week and enjoy some time for quilting.

  2. Wow, that is the perfect quilting design for this quilt! Looks like the Quilt and Tear process works really nicely. I haven't tried that, but would love to have more design options for quilting!
