Free Motion Quilting Samples, Vol. 1

I took a free-motion quilting class with Swan Sheridan earlier this year. Based on the premise that it takes 500 hours to get good at anything, she gave the class a homework assignment, as follows:

1. Take about 30 minutes to plan and create a free-motion quilting design.
2. Do this 3 times a week for 4 weeks. When you finish, you should have 12 free motion quilting design samples.
3. Compare your last sample with your first, and note the improvement!

This seemed like a good idea, and I took it one step further: I bound my quilt samples into a plush book, with a hand-embroidered cover. This is the result.
