I chose today’s #quiltsectionsunday for two reas I chose today’s #quiltsectionsunday for two reasons: 1️⃣ Many of us make New Year’s resolutions and sometimes by mid January we are already getting distracted or even discouraged. This mini quilt was my first attempt at free motion quilting on my domestic machine. If you have a technique based goal, make sure you take photos of those first attempts. It’s easy to compare your work to that of other people, but it is far better to compare your own work to where you were a week, month, or year before. 2️⃣ Have you seen that this week’s Project Quilting Challenge is silhouettes? While I won’t have time to participate this week, I love seeing the results of these challenges ❤️ This quilt is one of only a few times I have focused on silhouettes. #miniquilt #winterquilt #treequilt #foundationpaperpiecing #foundationpaperpieced #freemotionquilting #quilt #quilting #modernquilt #modernquilting #modernquilter #trianglequilt #flyinggeesequilt

I have been pulling my initial color palette from the digital print at the bottom of the photo, and I have decided to lean into the dominant violets as the quilt develops.
