Welcome to Week 4 of the Machine Quilting Blog Hop!
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.
There's still time to jump in and join me, HollyAnne, Kristin, and Vicki as we work through this book. You don't have to have a blog - just post on your favorite social media channel using the hashtag #machinequiltingbloghop and show us what you're working on.

This looks so great! I love how you combined them all in the same block!
