I don't know about you, , but I used to require a lot of incentive to eat my lima beans.

 

Thankfully quilting Lima Beans is a lot more fun!

 

Before we get into our lima beans quilting design, we're running a huge sale on two of my most recent books, Leah Day's Goddess Quilts which is a showcase and tell-all about every quilt in my Goddess art quilt series, plus the Dream Goddess planner, which is a 3 month planner that can be used any time of the year, designed with creativity and inspiration in mind.

 

Click Here to learn more about my home sewing machine – You don’t need a massive machine to learn free motion quilting. You just need a sturdy machine and a willingness to practice!

 

Deluxe Foot Set – This set includes two styles of walking feet, a darning foot, and a ruler foot! These are the feet I use for machine quilting on my Eversewn machine.

 

I’m also quilting on a Janome 1600 set up on a Grace Hoop Frame. This makes quilting feel so much easier because the machine is moving on wheels instead of the quilt being pushed over a table.

You’ll need to be able to travel stitch, hit exact points, and echo quilt. Because these three skills take a bit of time to master, this is an intermediate design. But that also means it’s a great skill builder for learning these three techniques!

 

Designs in this family are like Paisley and have a beautiful flowing texture and slight thread build at the base of the design. Just watch out you don’t travel stitch over the same spot too many times or your thread may break. Well, unless you’re using my favorite thread of course.

 

Where to Quilt It? – Lima Beans will surprisingly work everywhere on your quilts! I think this would make a pretty all-over quilting design as well as an accent design in your borders and sashing. It’s so nice the design goes with anything and everything, unlike the food.
