Wild Quilting
Now let's catch up on the awesome new technique we learned on this Free Motion Quilting Project this week. Wild Quilting, or Textured Applique will allow you to do amazing stuff with fabric like this:
I used Wild Quilting to fill in the hair section of this version of Express Your Love. This might look difficult, but it's really just wrinkling, pleating, twisting, and squishing fabric in place, then stitching it down to roughly secure it in place. The more fabric you add, the better it looks!

Beginner Tip Tuesday #5 with Josh Day
Do you instantly tense up and feel anxious when you sit down to quilt?

Josh was struggling with this too, and finding it very hard to get into the flow of free motion quilting.

That is until he mixed a small drink to take the edge off. Check out this post to learn how Josh relaxed and find a recipe to try yourself!
