Finally free motion quilting

I finally took a trip to Ball Mart and bought the cahones I needed to start quilting the cheery squares quilt. I had a couple shaky starts, so I developed a system to quilt beautifully.
1. Find wax paper
2. Pin a piece of wax paper to the quilt
3. Draw pattern onto wax paper
4. Quilt on top of drawing
5. Peel off paper
6. ???
7. Profit!
I feel so sneaky and so happy because it's WORKING!! I'm free motion quilting!!

  2. That's a pretty damn brilliant idea! Haha- could have used some lines to race on my Tardis... Some of my swirls were pretty questionable. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Glad you're back in the quilting world :)
