Today we are working on Chapter 4 of The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting by Angela Walters and Christa Watson, Fractured Squares

I decided that this orphan Night and Day block left over from the Modern Blocks Quilt Along would be a great place to practice these walking foot designs.

I used the Clover Chaco Liner to make some registration marks, but mostly I just used the edge of my walking foot and aimed for the next dot.

I still prefer free motion quilting to straight line quilting, but this was a fun exercise. The straight line spiral kind of bugs the OCD side of me, but I love how the triangles with the overlapping grid turned out.
