The pattern is "Charlotte" from Three Times the Charm which you can find here or Amazon. (It's cheaper shipping through Amazon.) I added another row to make it a little larger. The pattern calls for the octagons to be a neutral color, and the in between space to be the patterned material. I decided I wanted to change it up a little and swapped it.
This is only my second time doing free-motion quilting, and I decided to try a different pattern. I did a modified dogwood pattern. You can find directions for it here at Oh, Fransson! I didn't want the lines between, so that is where the modification came in. I would leave one section of the flower open then more on to the next one. Once I made it through the whole thing I made my way back to the beginning by closing up each section. It worked great!
I hope my friend and her little girl enjoy it!
You do a great job! It is really pretty! I love the edge!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with Charlotte!

DeleteThis is gorgeous and I think your changes made it even better as a pattern. Great job on the FMQ, mine is terrible, need to work on it a LOT.
