FMQ Friday with Leah Day - Rolling Tires FMQ

This week I quilted the "Rolling Tires" FMQ design on the inner border for the Disney Cars Quilt I showed last week. This was such a fun design and I have been thinking about coming up with this FMQ design for quite some time. I really like how it turned out.

I actually marked the tires freehand before quilting them. I didn't really follow every single marking, but this was helpful to keep me on track.

Here are some of pictures of the Paisley FMQ on my Shades of Blue quilt: Paisley FMQ with Circles - you see on the first block I tried to mix paisley with circles Paisley FMQ Paisley FMQ The past week was really productive for me. Finally my sewing machine started behaving and the quilting went really smooth. I almost quilted away 3 blocks. Just 2 more blocks to quilt approximately. I can't wait to finish this quilt soon. I was in a flow this week with FMQ, but did have stop and work on my piecing my Groovy quilt and work on the UFO. Which is always good.
