This is the second echo design I came up with for this block.
I really like the gentle curve that was created following along the pieced design. I used my walking foot and gently guided my block through the machine.
For this block I did a basic grid using my walking foot starting with the center lines and working my way outwards.
Some of these early designs might see quite basic but it's good to practice even the basics. When this quilt is finished I want a sampler of sorts of different techniques whether it be my first try at them or ones I've mastered.
Quilting has begun! A while back I posted about making these blocks. I was hoping to start a block of the month type series but never quite made it past this one. I made over 49 of these and figure it will take some time to get them finished. I decided to try and do different quilting designs on each one. So as I get them finished I will show you the variations I've done in quilting this block. This series will be titled The Quilted Block so if your interested in seeing all the ones I get posted or perhaps just want to refer back I'll have them all labeled The Quilted Block.
For this one I did concentric circles of varying widths with my starting circle off center. For this design I used my walking foot went slowly and gently turned my fabric.
