Quilt-as-You-Go ‘Learner’s Quilt’

I decided to make a  quilt-as-you-go ‘Learner’s Quilt. That is what I am calling it anyway I’m pretty sure it is actually just called a Sampler Quilt.

MY FABRIC

They have the same print in two different colors, beige and green. I designed the print myself and I overbought the fabric when I ordered it.

SCRAPPY QAYG BLOCKS

I used strips of my fabric in different widths, sewing right sides together through the top batting and backing all at once.

I made 8 ‘geese’ and I put 4 of them together into these two blocks, which I think might mean they are square in a square block not flying geese blocks is that right?

QUILT-AS-YOU-GO HEXAGONS

I bought the smaller 1 & 1/4 size instead of the larger one as I figured I’d get more scrap fabric hexis out of a smaller size.

FREE MOTION QUILTING

What I did was sew the backing fabric together from wrong side to the wrong side just along the edge of the quilted block. 

I made lots of new blocks since I lasted posted about this as well as a number of free motion quilting practice panels.

THE BLOCKS

I choose to do a Churn Dash Block because it is such a traditional feeling block but I of course gravitated towards this scrappy version using 1 strips from Patchwork Facil.
