When I did free motion quilting on my domestic machine, I always thought a panel to be the best exercise for different motifs as it has so many interesting elements in one panel allowing you to do plenty of things.
I haven’t
done that many panels since I got the frame but when this nativity panel
arrived, it just confirmed my opinion about panels and practice again.
Every
little shape/animal/figure posed a challenge as to what should be quilted in
it. Some worked better than others but I
still got in all the exercise needed.
Here a couple of quilted pictures/motifs can be seen.
Most of the other characters/trees were simply outlined, so more thread painting than quilting.
I did a wide rope around the border
This panel with added border finished at 44” x 51”
