quilt-as-you-go pattern
You will want to practice free motion quilting more!
Stitching these repetitive designs creates a rhythm that invites you to sew more and more.
The pattern includes designs for 33 blocks:
- 27 designs measure 20”
- 6 designs measure 7”
Use the blocks for small projects (pillows, table runners…) or join them into a big quilt.
You can sew blocks in any size you need, just print the designs at any desired scale.
FAT QUARTER friendly quilt pattern
Quilt size: 60” x 75”; block size: 15”
I printed the 20'' at 14” and I used fat quarters.
Quilt-As-You-Go
This technique takes away your fear of free motion quilting large quilts.
I have been quilting for 17 years but I still notice the difference between quilting a small quilt and quilting a big quilt.
This project is wonderful for beginning quilters.
The blocks of this quilt were individually free motion quilted then they were “pieced” together using this easy technique: quilt-as-you-go.
Not too much time for quilting?
How about these pretty coasters, made with those small designs?

2 Easy Steps
- Transfer the design to fabric
- Free motion quilt feathers on the hexagon flowers, using colored thread.
You can quilt with thread in different thicknesses. I quilted with Aurifil 12wt (a very thick thread). 28/30wt thread works as well, even 40wt thread. A thick thread gives a striking design and a thin thread a delicate appearance.

Encouraging words from customers
You have helped me so much to build confidence with machine quilting. I’ve been a hand-quilter for many years and it’s hard to learn something that much different but I am!. -Sue
I just wanted to thank you for my sanity. I am learning machine quilting and not enjoying it at all. I was just about ready to give up when I remembered how you hold your hands while you quilt. IT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE! I might end up enjoying machine quilting after all.
Thank you so much Geta. -Christine
Your patterns inspire one to want to continue to create something beautiful.
-Pat
