 April's Free-Motion Quilting Challenge


This Month's quilt challenge was taught by Don Linn.  I just love this Technique!!  I have been quilting for several years now and I have never seen this technique using tulle to transfer quilting designs.  Thank you Don for sharing one of your designs with us!!  


When using a permanent marker...... Don't forget to heat set it.... or it will transfer onto your fabric.   




Here is my sample.... with black permanent marker on the block....  {sigh} 


I will have to make this one over again!  Back to the drawing board.  


Front -As you can see I forgot to heat set the tulle!

    Wonderful fmq. I love the way you added echos and spirals to fill the entire space. Sorry about the permanent marker transfer.

    I forgot about heat setting the tulle but, fortunately, it didn't transfer onto my fabric. Your project is well done.

    Thank you for the head's up about heat setting the tulle before transferring to the quilt top!
