So, I actually used a pattern for this one - Silhouettes Dragonflies by Heather's Designs (similar to Mandy's Ooh La La quilt). I started this quilt at a retreat in June and finished it off with a little bit of easy quilting at our annual Glenrose retreat in November. I say easy quilting cause I made some circles around each dragonfly (my idea), quilted through the reeds (idea given to me by a fellow retreat goer in June), and big swirls between the dragonflies (Mandy's idea) - all done with my walking foot attached and no free motion involved (I would do anything to avoid free motion!!!). I am now waiting on the other half to make up a hanger so the wall hanging can be hung up in my sewing room.
I still think you should give free motion quilting a go - it would have been quicker!!
