Trying out new FMQ designs

I am working my way through quilting Maxi's curvy quilt.

A couple of weeks ago I shared my plans for the solid colour sky sections, using swirls and pebbles.


In each of the other parts of the quilt I have been experimenting with other FMQ designs:


This is triangles in a paisley shape, they are within a window surrounded by ovals floating over the fabric:


I love the contrast in design in each shape.


In another block I used messy spirals that meander over the space.


With this quilted interconnected triangular spirals, the texture is lovely!


In this orange window I quilted wavy lines close together:


These are surrounded by arches that reflect the arches of the London city scape on the fabric.


This window has a meandering design with tight swirls. It was great fun to quilt:


Some close, parallel lines..


I love these interlinking square swirls. The look like the building print they are on.


Together the combine to make a gorgeous block!


The quilt is coming together so well. I love the different textures and designs.

I am about 1/2 way through and I would like to get it finished for his birthday on Tuesday so there are going to be quite a few late nights ahead this weekend!

Linking up with FMQ Friday.
