I wanted something different for that flowered jelly roll quilt, the one that's never been anywhere near an actual jelly roll. It's cute, but kind of blah. It needed something fancier, some flowers or swirls or hearts or something.
So I made swirls! They show up better on the back.
Now that I've stretched my wings at bit more, I'm looking for ideas for the next ones. I've got a free motion book around here somewhere, and found some sites with free patterns --

That looks fantastic!
I'm just starting out on freemotion stuff too, and I'm having some trouble with the tension...what setting do you have yours on? It seems no matter what I try, I end up with loops on the back or a broken top thread...argh! Any advice?
Looks like you've done a great job with the quilting! I have found Patsy Thompson's DVDs very helpful in broadening my range of quilting patterns. Have fun experimenting :)
