I see lavender loops and I like them! Right out of the wash and up for photos. Only wish it was a brighter day in Seattle.
I didn’t want to remove Split Decision from my home, but I dropped it off as a class sample today. It’s my favorite quilt to date besides a few in the book.
Wanna know a secret?
I was a free-motion quilting virgin until this quilt and now I have a new addiction. Since finishing this one I have three baby quilts under my belt. Can’t stop. Though my first love will be a straight line F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
Let’s back up, you don’t want to look at those loop’s stitch length too close.
The backing isn’t Alexander Henry. So if it isn’t Alexander Henry than it must be flannel in the quilting world of Katie.
Right?
Knew the Folksy Flannel was it when I saw it on sale on Sew Mama Sew. I loved the weight of it as I sat under it and stitched on the binding.
In fact, if anyone has a yard of the Hope Valley I used for binding I’m in the market. I think I wanna make another just like it for my bed. Do you think my husband will repaint the bedroom walls AGAIN?
Eeekkk, I’m so excited to have this done.
Happy Monday!

haha, I knew you’d love FMQ once you tried it! I love how this came out!
Thanks and see you Wednesday! Stop by for a beer tonight?
Look out, World ~ Katie dropped her feed dogs!!
🙂
You always make me laugh.
Love the Flannel – I bought a AMH stack and have it sitting waiting for a great quilt. Loops look Fab. Xx
This is a GREAT quilt. I love it.
love this! your free motion quilting is beautiful – not something that i have been brave enough to try yet, but maybe, just maybe, i could try someday. LOVING the lavendar loops!
This quilt appeals to me. I wish I knew how to make quilts like this! (I’m told “chemo fog” does really disappear — can’t be too soon for me.) I never would have thought of purple loops. YES
Awesome FMQ!! Pretty quilt too!
Great quilt Katie! I love that fabric.
wow, this looks amazing! quilting, backing, binding… all of it perfect. i hope you will forgive me when you see my finished quilting bee quilt, but it will be quite evident how thoroughly and shamelessly i ripped off this design from you. but, in this case, it is true what they say about imitation and i will give you full and deserved props.
All I did was use Joelle Hoverson’s technique, so we are in the same boat.
I had a quilt shop ask me for the pattern and I couldn’t honestly say it was mine. Next time I’m going vertical and mixing it up.
Hope to see you soon!
Katie- we are all always wishing for brighter and sunnier days in Seattle!! This is so cute and frisky, love the loops!!
Hoping to see everyone on the 27th!!
Wow! I love this quilt. You are braver than I. I still have yet to pop my free motion cherry. Not only am I a total chicken but I do love the clean lines of straight line quilting. Love your loops though. I am inspired.
That’s pretty funny lady!
It’s excellent Katie! The quilting is great, and I love the color of it. I adore the binding. Good luck finding some. Maybe check Hawthorne Threads…
Thanks Erica. I’d like to make another with some twists when I have my list finished.
Great job, Katie! Your loops look quite loopy =). Glad you had fun. This is a good reminder to me – I did like loops, I did like loops, I did like loops.
Love the Quilt!
Hawthorne Threads have a heap of Hope Valley in!

Hope that helps!
Ara Jane isn’t the only one who borrowed inspiration from you Katie! I just finished up a baby quilt (in purple) with this technique. Love the loops!
all borrowed from joelle hoverson and available to all!
Hot diggity dog! Love this one. I am also loving that you are a new free motion quilting addict. I absolutely love drawing with thread.
It’s just gorgeous, flannels and all. Congratulations on the fun FMQ – need to be braver…
; )
You’ll love it. It kinda put the excitement back into quilting for me.
