Mom made the quilt top based Princess Tiara in the magazine Quilt Trends, winter 2013 about 6 months ago. I quilted it with a different motif in each zig zag. One of the pink zig zags was my first use of the cross hatching 1/4 line spacing template I had purchased several years ago. I also use some new learning I got from a quilting marking class with Harriet Hargrave where I learned of Frixion pens that disappear with heat. I used different fillers from Leah Day's Free Motion Quilt Project blog, which is my main source of inspiration for quilting motifs. I also did a couple of zig zags with Sally Terry's Hooked on Feathers technique.
What I learned from this project was 1) that the large flamingo print did not do well in this pattern as the blocks were not large enough for a full flamingo and 2) stablize with walking foot by stitch in the ditch first. There was some unevenness to the quilt before quilting which I controlled with a walking foot stitch in the ditch on each of the zig zags.
