Waving in the Wind - free motion quilting cameo 27

A bit of a break from the black and white theme for this post. It is time for another fmq cameo.
original free motion quilting design sample on hand-dyed indigo fabric
Waving in the Wind - free motion quilting cameo 27
This is one of my motifs that was born of putting pencil to paper and just watching and waiting to see what happens, going with what I like, dropping what I don't and constantly trying out the 'what ifs'. For me it evokes crops waving in a summer breeze. Although the line crosses it is a continuous line and has a nice swing to it. I think it looks better stitched all in the same direction, which is a bit of a pain because it means you have to stop at the end of each row and start on again for the next.

Thanks for dropping by..

    You make it so much fun to drop by. There's always something new and inspiring to see. I live next to hay fields and this design definitely brings them to mind. It's beautiful.

    I also love the design. I'm thinking... it can be used as a single row to quilt a border of a larger quilt... going from right to left... you just turn the quilt at the corner and continue quilting. That would be nice on a 2" or 3" border. And no stopping.

    Yes what an awesome quilt design you came up with. I love how it has much movement. That is definitely one you would to get it in the muscle memory by practicing on paper first. Thanks for stopping by and so excited that you have decided to join in with Bloom Project.
