This grid design May Garden is based on a square grid and can be executed with a circle ruler if desired. The design is constructed out of a series of flowers with four petals. May Garden can be used as an allover or edge to edge quilting design, or just in a block or border.  The design will look great on projects with themes like gardening, flowers, butterflies and nature or quilts with a retro ’70s vibe.

Ruler or no ruler?

I used a 1 inch grid for this sample so I did it freehand… which you can clearly see ...

Have you ever turned a clamshell design on its side and used it as a border design? Well, here you go!

The machine quilting design Foliage is based on molar feathers and quarter circles. The grid design works well as a single border design or as a repeated grid pattern, like in the image below.

Foliage is loose and structured at the same time. Yes, the grid in this design creates structure, but the molar feathers are loose and free-flowing within their available space. 

Stitch this design from left to right as a single or double row and pre-mark it ...
