Quilt Along with Leah Day - Week 29

Wow! I can't believe its been almost 8 months since I started quilting with Leah Day. This has been an amazing journey. This week was fun trying out different FMQ design stippling, loop de loop & circuit board with heart of other motifs. I choose to try it with Heart and Paws motif.

Here are my quick little practice while the baby took a quick 15min nap. The squares or rectangles are 4inch in width.

This quilt has become an FMQ sampler. I have been trying different FMQ designs on the blue squares or rectangle while trying to keep consistency with the negative space (white) to either use Circles, Swirls or Paisley.

You can see all 3 FMQ designs in the blue squares.
Circuit Board with Hearts FMQ

Loop de Loop Hearts FMQ

Stippling with Paws ;) FMQ
I had a kick out of all these FMQ design names. I think anyone will be intrigued by these names ;).

Now, I am going to link this up with Leah's Quilt Along.

    My local quilt shop makes quilts for the "Fences for Fido" charity. I HAVE to steal your Stippling with Paws design for this years donation quilt. Thank you for the inspiration!
