Tips for Machine Quilting Swirl Designs Live Chat with Angela Walters - Thursdays @ 3pm central

hello everybody welcome to this week's live challenge i'm angela walters excited to talk to you about some swirls but first i got to tell you i get on the type chat before i go live and you know answer questions and just chit chat and mandy just about made me snort my drink out she said my quilting doesn't always look good while i'm drinking my wine but when i'm finished drinking my wine it looks great so maybe that's the ticket finish is better than perfect finished drinking oh anyway i'm excited to talk about this week's challenge we went over swirls and to be honest this is a i'll say a monster tutorial not monster isn't bad but it is packed and i gotta tell you it kind of gave me some angst um over this whole week i was like should i break it up into two should i cut some out are people gonna be mad should i add another week like it's ridiculous how much thought i put into it in the end i just kept it all in there and i thought well most of the designs that we talked that i talked through in that video we've seen previously and so hopefully it's not overwhelming to you so if you're quilting along or you're checking out the swirls video and you're like oh my gosh this is too much try not to be overwhelmed because it's just i love my swirls and it's like me showing you all the pictures of my kids right look how cute this one is and look how cute that one is so i definitely don't want you to get overwhelmed if you are quilting along with me and you're like ah just it's too much download the free quilting diagrams i mean that that thing the free one had six pages the paid expanded resource had 25 pages when i got done the video was a couple hours late on tuesday when i got done i felt like i'd ran a marathon now jessica literally runs marathons but i'm sure that's what it felt like would feel like i was done i was like oh my gosh i need to go to bed um so i hope i hope that you look at this as an offering of love and not like holy crap she's given us a lot of homework the week before fourth of july so we're gonna go over the designs that are in the weeks challenge i'm going to kind of give you some ideas where to use them there are some questions that came up in the type chat before so definitely address those if you are catching this live right now thursday at 3 pm central you can type in your questions because jessica is here she's gonna write them down so i can address them so if you have tried this week's challenge or last week's challenge or any free motion quilting question or really i mean anything any question i'm glad to answer it um if you're not watching this live no worries i know real life gets in the way jobs and families and stuff like that you can leave your question in the comments and i'll try to get on there and answer them from time to time so let's get right let's get right to the goodies the swirl designs um i joke in the video that i mean there's not a quilt that wouldn't look good with this world and i mean it is dramatic but it's so true if you only learn one design continue or swirl designs if you can learn two continuous curve which is like lines that curve from point to point in a swirl you can quilt anything and make it look good so look at this like oh my gosh this is this is worth learning but the problem with swirls is it's one of those designs that the more you practice it the more refined it gets and the better it looks so you have to practice and i know i know it's hard because in the beginning it sucks it sucks to suck right you're like this doesn't look good but you have to get past that suckiness and get to the point where you can start doing it and without obsessing about it so it is definitely worth learning so in this video i never said the number out loud in the video because i did not want to overwhelm anybody but we learned nine different swirl designs and i actually filmed 10 different swirl designs but when i had the video the tutorial finished like the rough edited version without kind of slicing it down it was 45 minutes so i cut one out we'll talk about that here in a second and um i think it'll be fun we're going to work through them so a lot of content a lot of fun though so it's like how do you pick favorites you just you just can't so the great thing about swirl design or any any filler that you're learning that's similar in shape like all the bubbles and pebbles that we learned last week is they work really well together because they're all the same basic shape and so when i was filming the long army portion i basically just put my camera right in front of me i'm quilting around it i'm quilting the sections going from one to the next to the next and it makes a really cool quilted example so if you're not quilting along with me on the custom panel that's okay you don't have to have the panel to participate i definitely do appreciate the support because it allows me to keep doing these but you can go one piece of fabric just from one to the next to the next just make sure you fill in any of those gaps and it will look great so it's really easy to kind of combine these together and to make some really cool textures on your quilt so first we started with i always called it the basic swirl but when i was teaching my long-arm class we decided that that's not really a good name for it because it sounds almost like oh that swirl it's so basic so i thought maybe the essential swirl you know the the thing that kicks off all the other shapes the design that everything builds off of now as you're working through the swirl designs you don't have to learn all of them you're like i'm not going to use all of these but this one right here is great because it's so fast and doesn't have any traveling it doesn't have any um you know really dense portions i mean you can quilt it densely if you want but it just moves nice and quickly so this is something i'm going to use in busier fabrics where you can't see the closing anyway i don't want to do one of the swirl designs that takes a long time to come together like you know concentric swirl or if i just want a nice texture this is not going to have any movement to it it's just going to be nice and static it's just going to kind of hold that area down and whatever you put it around it's just going to not take attention away from it so it's not necessarily one of those designs that's going to like show off what you put around it so if i have my quilts i have my beautiful block it's not going to be like hey check this block out it's just gonna chill there it's just gonna look nice give a nice texture and kind of mind its own business without taking any of the tension away from the main part one of the questions that came up though during the type chat was like how big are these swirls and the thing i want to point out is it's really first of all the size of the finished swirl it depends on how many times i echo it what i'm working on how big i'm quilting the whole thing like how dense but the initial curl the one that kind of starts it off is about a quarter size i don't want to make it so big because as i echo around the outside then it's going to get bigger and bigger and bigger i would rather quilt more swirls than have really big swirls because it's very difficult to sustain that curve over a bigger area ultimately though as long as you do it consistently it's going to look fine so whatever you do just do it over and over again so the most important thing is i'm trying to keep the spacing somewhat similar ish in between them and i'm just trying to make sure the whole area is filled in i think what's interesting about any design is no matter where you close it you're going to deal with areas that you can't fit in a whole swirl or you can't make a perfect swirl you're just going to fill it in with something you just have to put something in there and move on knowing that when you step back it's going to look fine and one of the reasons i designed the panel the way i did is to give you those tight corners to learn how to maneuver within those it's kind of like a lot more challenging but another thing to think of and i did it because i love you and i think you'll thank me for it later so anyway i love to use swirls in the backgrounds of blocks if i'm looking at a sampler quilt with a ton of different blocks in it i'm going to try to establish a background and say okay in all the background it's going to get one design let's do swirls and so it's a great quick design i know that i can quilt it quickly and so that's what i'm going to go with so it's definitely one of my favorites there it's not going to work great in really small areas like unless you're quilting it densely so not your teeny tiny irregular area shaped but definitely within like an inch or bigger so it's it's just a great versatile one now for those of you that might be struggling when i designed the westward fabric collection i designed one of the prints to be a continuous swirl design so i kind of like joke it's like training wheels for quilters if you think about how we learned how to write we didn't just watch a teacher write your name up there and then you tried to write it you got to trace along and so you can check out the video that or the fabric if you want to trace along those swirls to get the hang of how it goes together so that's a fun option i've done training wheels for the last two fabric or two challenges and it's just been helpful for some quilters all right once we take that swirl and once you feel somewhat comfortable with it it's time to start playing around and coming up with different variations and like i said all variations are not for everybody you can play around them find the ones that you like and the first one i showed was the swirl hook and one thing i didn't mention in here in the video i almost did but i was like some cultures find this really difficult but i don't want to scare anybody but there's something about this little hook that kind of i don't know makes our brain kind of fry a little bit so if you're trying it i know during the type chat a few people were like oh i couldn't get that swirl hook the best thing i can suggest is to when you're quilting that hook just keep it close to something else the hardest thing about this design is if you're quilting that hook out in space then you end up with a lot of weird unquilted areas that you have to come back in and fill later check out those quilting diagrams and try tracing it this is one of those designs this one ribbon candy there's a couple designs where i'm like it's just best to trace over an example until it clicks and then it will it'll go real fast so the swirl kind of thing you might be like i'll never get it i'll never get it but all of a sudden those like synapses connect and like you get it so the reason i like to throw that little hook on there is not to be difficult but because that hook can really extend into pointy places so this is going to be a design that i'm going to use in an area that's very irregularly shaped like let's say the background of a star block or any kind of area where i'm trying to fit these round designs into a pointy area so that hook can just kind of extend in and fill it and in the video i demonstrated the long arm portion on the westward pillow panel because those little white sections are perfect right the perfect example of trying to fit your round design in a pointy area so talking about how i use the hook to extend into those points how i transition from one block to the next i didn't you know i couldn't dwell on it but it definitely kind of showed what that process looks like so of course the westward swirls and the pillow panel are available for purchase you can just click the link in the description box if you'd like to see that that's like the easiest um sentence when i'm filming i can always nail that one to find out more click the link in the description box all right so then i threw in the flower meander and it's funny because it's like but almost imagine it's like the bachelor right so i have all my designs and i'm like you're in you get the rose like you're out or whatever i kind of went back and forth on this one because it doesn't look like a swirl but it goes together a lot like a swirl and it has a totally different look so we're just starting with that little curl and we're adding arcs around the outside this adds a beautiful beautiful texture to your quilt i'll say it looks more i'm gonna say loosely feminine it looks more flowery of course it just looks beautiful but it takes a little bit longer to quilt if you're looking at a design and you're like how how's this gonna go how is it gonna take a long time to work on the more changes of direction that it has the more it's gonna longer it's gonna take i mean think about driving a car if you're driving straight down the road that's not going to take long but if you're going around each corner it's going to take a little bit longer so each one of those little arcs is its own little change of direction so this is not going to be a design that i'm going to put in an area that you can't see it i joke about this a lot in my videos or whatever but it's like i'm not going to take the time to put this very intricate design if you can't see it so if it's a busier fabric i'll just go with that that essential swirl the only difference to that the only caveat to that is unless i'm practicing if you're practicing the flower meander you want to practice in a safe space a busy fabric is perfect because you can't see the quilting anyway next up we took that same way that goes together the curl the echo we just replaced the arcs with a wavy line so in some of my past challenges this was just a flower meander variation but it really is kind of fun and different and like i don't know if i said in the video i know i said i don't know if i cut it out i can't remember exactly like i said tuesday is a blur it's not one of those designs you're going to use all the time but it's definitely going to be one that you'll pull out you're like that would be perfect it goes together nice and quick if you especially if you're just like trying to practice with the idea of quilting in general moving the fabric moving the things and so it's a really good one and i have an example of this on a quilt and in this example this particular quilt was like really tiny blocks in the center and it got really big on the outside and so i changed the size of the design or the spacing but you can just tell it's it's just a nice pretty overall texture even in a solid fabric so kids quilts novelty quilts um a quilt you just need to get finally freaking finished you know we all have those but it goes together so quickly so if you're struggling with that wavy line i i love to joke that everybody can quilt a wavy line if you don't think you can just try quilting a straight line chances are it'll turn out wavy but joking aside sometimes wavy lines can be trigger if tricky if you're quilting too slow sometimes we're like trying to like cool really slow we want to get that momentum down so if you're struggling try speeding up the machine just a bit again it's hard without seeing exactly what you're doing but most quilters let's say 80 percent of quilters quilt too slow because they're very hesitant not to stereotype but going a little bit faster with this will help you be a little bit more satisfied with the results so from there we took kind of like the i don't think easier but they don't take as much to come together and then we have the concentric swirl now this is the one that i'm going to put around elements that i want to show off it incorporates traveling for the first time which is just quilting along a previously quilted line but we're only doing it for like a quarter to a half an inch it's fine it's fine nothing to be scared about but it goes together the same way i'm still going to quit my curls i'm still going to echo i'm just going to add a little bit of traveling in between that traveling is what makes those swirls kind of look like they're laying on top of each other it gives your design depth especially when you put it right up next to something you want to show off like let's say there's applique whatever in the center putting this around it's going to make those swirls look like they're popping behind it and just kind of make that applique look like it's coming to the foreground a little bit um one thing i want to point out and this came up in the type chat thread color so if you bought the coordinating thread collection um i hope you liked it because picking out threads is one of my favorite parts if you bought the coordinating thread collection there's two shades of blue two shades of that watermelon color and then the light kind of tan you can do whatever you want but i kind of picked the threads on the idea that you would match like the darker blue to the darker blue fabric the lighter blue to the lighter blue fabric so that you can see the texture of your design however when i'm filming you really want me to use contrasting thread or you couldn't see what i'm doing and i mean kind of makes the video pointless so here you can see there's those concentric swirls so what i did is i just flipped them around i use the lighter blue in the darker fabric and i use a darker blue thread in the lighter fabric if you like the look of that you can do it too there's no rules you can do whatever you like so you'll see notice that sometimes you'll see pictures and it'll have contrasting thread that just means that's what i did while i was filming if you see pictures where it blends in that means it was a sample i quilted beforehand just to have as an example to kind of get my my brain wrapped around what i was gonna work on in fact that's the next picture so again this has the matching thread color that pretty texture so when it comes to thread color with your fillers in general i like to make the thread similar to the fabric a filler's job is to kind of enhance or highlight something else and so i don't want it to necessarily distract from that there are exceptions to that rule in my mind because this is just the rule i make for myself but in general i want the thread to match all right then we went from the concentric swirl and we just said well let's change up the spacing let's make it a little bit different to create a softer variation and if you can look at the names in the handouts you can tell it was about this point but i'm like i can't come up with names anymore so this is the concentric swirl variation design um i was going to just number them be like swirl number four that's it but all i'm doing here is instead of making all my spacing consistent which is something i had been saying a lot up to this point i'm like well now you can just forget it let's make it um different let's vary up that spacing to give it a different texture so here's the moral of this story if you're going to do something just do it all the time even if you feel like it's incorrect as long as it's consistent it's going to look like a design variation so you might be trying the concentric swirls and you're like oh look this is what i created i'm ahead of the pack i'm kind of advanced so anyway you can play around that this will let you see the texture when you're using that matching thread another thing i'm going to pop back and forth another thing that kind of came up last week that i kind of want to hit again is the density idea i like to quilt things to death you don't have to do that so you can see here the same shape about this big this is a less dense you know example of that same design this is a little bit more densely quilted however dense you quilt it it's up to you what do you like the look of how much time do you have to quilt it you know how much do you love the person that you're quilting it for that kind of thing so you can quilt all of them in different densities then we went to the elongated swirl which is just a fancy way of saying we're stretching out that swirl and now we're dealing with direction and just like we saw last week when we worked with the circles when we're working with directional elements we just have to be more pay more attention to what we're doing as far as where they're facing in this example i want them to go in all different directions because i want it to have a nice all over texture if i start quilting them in a direction that's going to draw attention and just going to draw attention to that area so sometimes you can and we have seen this in previous challenges where i've quilted the swirl chain where we've taken that swirl and just kind of wrapped it around flora and foliage was that challenge that we did that in but for an all-over filler where we don't want it to take away from other elements we're just going to go in all different directions and try to keep that spacing the same this is one i do a lot as well so i love this in any kind of fabric because it goes together very quickly that's very echo heavy so if you're struggling with echoing this would be great practice by time you get done with a section you'll be a professional at it or you can go with the basic meander which does not have as much echoing i would use this anywhere that i would use a swirl busier fabric solid fabrics anywhere i want to add movement but it especially can look like hair like wind like water so it's perfect for those panels you know you get this really ornate panel it has like a wolf in front of the moon with the mountains behind it and you're like how do i quilt it how long again it swirls a trick then we talked about combining designs and this is about the point when i'm editing i'm like oh we're getting a lot built in here but combining two different designs just gives you a different filler gives you different design you know one plus one equals three and it also allows you to practice another design so if you're you know comfortable with quilting swirls i almost said fluent in quilting swirls but you're not super comfortable with pebbles you can sprinkle them in so allows you to kind of transition into a new design or if you're like me and easily board this is about the amount of pebbles i like to quilt in one setting before getting bored so combining shapes that are similar or designs that are similar in shape will be pretty easy out of the gate so concentric swirls and pebbles fairly similar although if you just want to practice and see if two designs will work together usually just drawing it out will tell you pretty quick if it's going to work most everything can be combined just sometimes you might have to add another filler design to help fill in any gaps between it so think of the bigger elements and then the glue that holds it all together the smaller design that you're going to use to put in there here's an example of it quilted a little bit more densely in a matching thread color so this was the sample i quilted before filming and it just gives you an idea of that pretty texture this is going to be something because it has pebbles and the concentric swirl that i'm going to use in an area that you can see what i'm doing i'm not worried about how many pebbles i put with the swirls or the ratio or the size or anything like that i'm just having fun quilting them in fact if you have a friend they can come over and yell designs out at you while your quilting and help you switch it up this one is a favorite um and this one is where we combine the elongated swirls with circles or bubbles or bigger pebbles to create just a different texture and add a little bit of interest to your quilt so we have talked about in the very initial live chat that kicked it off fillers can add texture they can add interest and they can add movement i'm sure they can do more but in my mind three things one two three this one's gonna be interest where it just adds a pop of unquilted area to draw attention to that not necessarily in a way to like draw attention away from something else but just to add a little interest so this would be something in bigger areas where i have a lot of space and i don't want it to just be the same design over and over and what happens is when we have a gap in the quilting that's why i think people notice first so i always say fill in the gaps and nobody will be able to see your mistakes well now i'm saying leave them leave those gaps and that will draw attention so when you look at stand back and look at it you just see that unquoted area not so much the swirls so if you're struggling with your echoing this is a good option because all people are going to see is that pop right there all right so about this point i was like all right we're going to have to land this plane because this video is getting long i don't want it to be too long because then if you click off at youtube things you don't like it and then people can't find it and so i thought well i'm sorry swirl vine you get cut so this was the one that did not make it on the video the swirl vine takes away the idea of echoing and inserts traveling to create this kind of ornate looking design that can add detail and it's really good for small to medium areas i'm probably not going to quilt this over a big area because of all the traveling but definitely within those smaller to medium areas now i know that wasn't in the video but i have extensive footage of all the designs so i'll be releasing this as a standalone um just kind of quick how to do it it will prob not be before the next week's challenge jokes that's i'm solidly getting next week's video ready but probably within that next week if you want to see step-by-step designs i have the expanded diagram the 25 page pdf of different designs and breaks it down step by step just to give you the quick like overview i'm just quilting a little elongated swirl back tracking and then quilting another one that branches off backtracking and off and so having those little sections to kind of um move around the area if you were to take that shape well it's your swirl echo echo echo and quote the next one echo echo it's the same thing as elongated swirl except just doesn't have any echoing anyway but you'll see that hopefully soon within the next week and a half two weeks let's just say three that way you're not emailing me in a week asking where it's at but it will kind of show you how to do it so anyway and if you are working through the panel or your sample you don't have to use every design that's being shown i just try to you know include some options for you again you can check out the expanded pdf if you want a little bit more help a little bit step-by-step or the free one also has the quilting diagrams for each of them if you want definitely going to be a helpful resource even the free ones i mean it takes a long time to put those together so you might as well take advantage of them right you can kind of keep them all together and have all your designs right there so it also has design placement ideas i know that some quilters are rule followers and they want to put the design where it needs to go so that will show you some suggestions but if you're not a rule follower you can do whatever you want it's totally up to you so anyway that was this week's video a lot a lot of stuff and hopefully i haven't just made it seem overwhelming or harder because that's not the goal um and so yep i think i answered all the questions there how about any questions jessica looks like she was writing down um again the live chat just a great way to connect and make sure that you know you feel comfortable with the designs where we're working i tried doing a regular swirls but they came out elongated help well guess what i think you should just do elongated swirls as you're working through if you think about trying to give a good analogy for this one i don't know if i have one different letters that we learned different things that come easier than just stick with elongated swirls if you want it to not be elongated instead of thinking stretched out think of a curl think of like this little finger that comes out a little quarter size if that's still not helping and i didn't show this in there quilt a circle and then go around and so it's going to give a different look but it's going to show you just nice and small there's not a lot of length not a lot of tail to it um i know that doesn't really help but you can check out the free quilting diagrams and maybe try tracing over the regular swirl or this essential swirl and see if that helps but ultimately like quilting designs are like you know handwriting and so this is how i hand write i don't think you should try to fit your handwriting to look like mine that just might be the way you quilt swirls and that's perfect as long as it's consistent it looks like that's meant how do it do i know that there's a wine called quilt from leslie quills no did not know that and i kind of feel sad that i did not know that now is there a wine called fmq because if there is i'm buying stock in it that's pretty clever i wonder if it's a quilter i have to look that up um it probably pairs nicely with cotton thank you jessica jessica laughed i love it when i reverse my stitching my bobbin thread gets goofy like when you backtrack i'm guessing like so one of the things we saw with the concentric swirl is we quilt it and then we come right back up and quilt the next one if that if it's just your bobbin thread acting weird just then it could be that you're not moving smoothly through it but i'm not thinking like reverse you're not actually like hitting the reverse button on your machine because your frame your feed dogs aren't pulling it i don't know i think that's i don't know i don't know what to tell you about that one i think reverse my stitching my bobbin thread gets goofy if you're backtracking instead of hesitating because that's sometimes what happens like we stop our hands but our machine's still going if you get thread build up it could be that you're hesitating too long so you need to either stop quilting thing through and then move but i promise it will work itself out this is also why i like to use a matching thread color to my top and bobbin thread that way if it does get a little goofy you can't tell as much where is the corrected page you talked about last week it's out in the interwebs floating around no if so last week there was just wasn't even an error it was just a mislabeled thing as a picture of the wrong design so if you go to the week one video click on it it will say quilting diagrams click here for free quilting diagrams that there's a little thing that says if you bought it i click here for that that corrected page it doesn't change any of the diagrams or anything it's just the picture is wrong that's it but you can find that week one under the free quilting diagrams what causes thread to build up in the point of the swirl a couple things um usually what happens when we're coming into a swirl we're needing to change direction and then we're not moving in and out of that fast enough so if especially if we're not using a stitch regulator that machine is still going and so it just takes more stitches right there and what happens there's nowhere for that thread to go so it builds up and that could also be while what the other question was why is my bobbin thread so goofy so you have two options you need to either slow your machine down as you're going into that point or you can move your hands quicker think about driving a car right if i'm going around a corner i can't go around that corner the same speed that i'm driving down the straightaway right i'm gonna have to slow down um so you better hang on to the wheel for dear life so try it's kind of talking through to tell somebody how to drive a stick shift so as you're coming into the point you're going to slow down a little bit because you're changing direction so your machines need to slow down too but ultimately it will work itself out usually in classes if somebody is asking me in the beginning about tension or thread buildup or any of that i usually tell them let's talk about the end of the class because sometimes it works itself out so just keep going just like huh i love that little bit of texture to the swirl look at that thread heavy part or whatever just um have fun with it i promise the more you get the the play of the speed in and out as you slow down make it easier this is also why um sometimes when we're working on those flower designs we don't get those nice points we get more of a loop because we're just learning how to change that direction so you come in and right back out at those points or you come in stop take a drink of your quilting water or juice whatever you're working on and then go back out you might find that helpful do i always swirl to the outside of the curl i always do until i don't okay so it would be like if somebody were to ask you oh my gosh so when you sign your name why do you always do this you're like i don't know that's how i always do it on the basic swirl i always go little curl and i swirl to the outside always that's just how i do it i don't know you can do other ways if you come to the inside you'll eventually make it to the outside but for the elongated swirls i quilt my elongated curl and i go inside and then outside so it just it just depends it doesn't matter which way you go just go just just do i promise you'll you'll develop your own um your own style this is awesome last question my swirls get fat i don't see that on yours you have a rule about how many echoes you do around each swirl well it's a high carb diet that will lead to no i'm just kidding okay bigger bigger swirls are harder to sustain bigger swirls are harder to sustain it's harder to do that bigger curve so my initial curl is small and i'm building up around it and i usually only echo it once or twice usually depends how many times i'm working my way around it um i don't have a rule but let's say i'm coming back and i need to get to the other side of this world and i know this echo is going to be really big sometimes instead of adding that last big echo i'll just add more swirls to work my way there i'm sure that doesn't make sense it makes sense in my head but there's no rule just know the bigger the curve the harder it's going to be to sustain and it was funny because even as i'm working through the quilting diagrams especially like the step-by-step ones that are in the expanded resource i mean because i'm just kind of drawing it and i have to like think okay how would i quilt this and i would go here there's a couple times i'm like that's way too big that's not going to work i need to switch that even for the diagram so as you're quilting just pause think where do i need to go um you can always come back and add more echoes to it as you're moving maneuvering your way around the area but it's much easier to keep them a little bit on the less echoed side i'm not talking about density though the spacing between the echo lines so it determines the density i know that's very confusing but man i love to overthink my swirls so hopefully that helps but i'm telling you the more you work through it the more you'll kind of find out what you like another pointer that came through in the type chat is you know i think i said a couple times in the video i said it every time but i edit it out a few times if you get stuck you don't have room to quilt a whole whole shape add a partial shape if you get stuck travel out along the edge that's going to happen you're not always going to be able to work your way into an area and right back out so sometimes you have to travel sometimes you have to cross lines just do whatever you need to do to get out so that you can continue on ultimately what do we want we want that whole area quilted in as completely as possible knowing that it's going to look great when it's done all right so next week is the next video in our challenge and i know that this is also holiday weekend we got the fourth of july coming up so that'd be fun so we're going to be doing some geometric shapes we're going to take straight lines and kind of create designs that are impactful but not difficult to come together so we're kind of going to ease take a little bit easier next one a lot of cultures find that a little bit easier again if you have any questions if you're not sure about what i'm talking about leave it in the comments below and i get on there from time to time or join our facebook group um it's a great community because you can ask your questions and other quilters will pop on and help you there as well all right everybody stay safe have a great weekend holiday weekend if you live in the u.s if not have a great weekend and i will see you next tuesday with the next video in the challenge until then everyone happy happy quilting
