#FMQ301 Design #60 Todays design is a feather variation. This one would be great to use as an allover! Simply stitch a meander across your quilt top and follow the spine back with the Molar Curls. Not too feminine either so there are many applications for this one. :) #FMQ301 #apqscanada #apqsquilting #lenni #freemotionquilting #longarm #quilt

#FMQ301 - Free Motion Quilting Design

whirls and swirls long arm free motion quilting design

Todays design has a modern feel.  Leave it a bit wonky!  Make the triangles soft and the circles in the middle will just give it another dimension.  I hope you like it!
