Practicing Freehand on the Quilter"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Don\u2019t pay any attention to the terrible quilting job or uneven corners. I was just practicing with the front of my quilting machine, learning the tools and was in a hurry to have something to play with. Normally I use the rear handles and a pantograph. I used an old sheet for the white areas instead of my quilting cotton (since I needed 780+ inches squares for example!) so it puckered quite a bit as expected. I do like the other colors and will probably make a \u201creal one\u201d soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another pattern that utilized 10 inch squares. I made my own from existing material I had purchased a while ago.  I loved the quilt, but man did I stink up the free hand quilting on my long arm machine. I need LOTS for practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/491793259_1232885995512645_991986127059537020_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5329-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5330-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.peetiepie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_5331-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t pay any attention to the terrible quilting job or uneven corners.
