FMQ Friday with Leah Day - Quilts for Boston

This week I got to quilt one of quilts I had pieced for Boston Strong. I didn't have any particular plan on how to quilt this for quilting. And I used the HQ Fusion long arm for the first time. For my height(5ft 3") this was a really really big machine. It did take a while to get used to it, I hope my quilting still turned out okay . And I hope this would be still loved by the special person who will receive this quilt. The awesome Liz@ Bits N Pieces sponsored the quilting for this quilt. She has been such a great support for the "Quilts for Boston". This is the 4th quilt quilted @Bits N Pieces and fully sponsered, including the one quilted by their staff.

Quilting on a long arm takes a while. The HQ Fusion was even powerful than the HQ Avante. And lot more for quilting in the frame. I wish I was little taller to use it comfortably. Hope to try it again for my future Queen/King size quilt ;).

Happy Quilting!

I am super excited to be part of the talented makers in Katarina Roccella's blog tour. Thank you, Nina for letting me participate in this wonderful blog tour. Avant Garde fabric is just mind blowing. When I first saw the pics at Art Gallery website , I was totally in love. When I recieved the fabrics they looked awesome in person and then finally when I started making my quilts. I am truly amazing to see how versatile Avant Garde fabrics are. These two are my most favorite blocks, the Panda is loaned from my 4 year old son ;). He is a cutie and insisted that I use his Panda for posing :D The arrows in the blocks were made from same two fabrics, but the the look is totally different.
