This is the stage I have reached with the free motion landscape. The sky and clouds are now filled in, and I am tempted to consider it finished.. If I just added a little more infill at the bottom, then I could trim it and bind it and call it a day.
This is definitely my favourite section of the picture. Perhaps if I tried a foreground I might just draw the eye away from this part.
Leah Day stresses the importance of starting free motion quilting at the centre of a piece and working outwards, to keep control of the fullness which develops in the unquilted areas.By the time I got to the top edge it was fairly frilly. If I do decide to carry on quilting at the bottom edge of the picture and it starts to get too frilly, then I will definitely stop there.
Decision decisions. I'm not rushing.
