Chevron Love!

Chevrons have been so popular this season, that I thought I would try my hand at making a chevron quilt!  Check out the finished product:

The lime green made it so fun and springy 🙂

In addition to trying chevrons, I also tried some new free motion tools and techniques.  Take a look!

I made squiggles up and down throughout the green prints, and did some basic stippling in the black/white prints.

I also experimented with a new tool called pinmoors (http://www.pinmoor.com) which replaces the use of safety pins while making the quilt sandwich.  I don’t know about you, but I HATE using safety pins – they’re hard to open and close and leave big holes in the fabric.  Pinmoors are a great alternative!  Pinmoors are used to cap the tip of your basic sewing pin, preventing the pin from sliding or poking you while quilting.  They’re a lit bit on the expensive side for such a small product but they make a big difference in your quilting experience! 

As always, Happy Quilting!
