Quilting the Flower Center – Dream Big Quilt Along #8
This is the final week of the Dream Big Quilt Along and we’re finishing up by quilting the center of the flower panel. I also quilted the last remaining petal and the background with straight, radiating lines. Learn how to finish free motion quilting your panel in this video:
Click Here to find the Dream Big Guidebook – This is an optional guide to help you get ahead on this quilt along. You can learn which petals I turned into Double Petals and how the designs will fill the quilt panel each week. This guidebook also includes information on making both the Dream Big Quilt and Dream Big Jacket!
Click Here to find the Dream Big Fabric Panel in the beautiful purple / teal aurora colorway. If you decide to make a quilted garment too, you may need more than one panel!
Quilting Homework for Week 8
Finish up your Dream Big Quilt by quilting the remaining petal and background with straight, radiating lines. Then slide back into the center and quilt Stippling, Pebbling, curving lines, and straight lines as you see fit.
There is no right or wrong way to quilt the center of this quilt, so don’t get stuck in this area! Enjoy quilting the last spaces and then follow the instructions in the Dream Big Guidebook to bind your quilt or turn your panel into a quilted garment!
I can’t wait to see your finished quilts or garments. Please share them with me on the Quilt Friends Club so everyone can enjoy seeing your version of the Dream Big Quilt!
Let’s go quilt,
Leah Day
