Build New Skills with the 365 Quilt Challenge!

In 2009, Leah Day started a new blog, the Free Motion Quilting Project, and set out to create 365 new free motion quilting designs. Each design was published online with photos and a video tutorial for free for every quilter in the world to enjoy.

This book is a compilation of those 365 designs, and within it you'll find a treasury of ideas and inspiration you'll return to again and again.

• Hundreds of high-resolution filler designs to work in all different areas of your quilt. From the blocks, to the sashing, to the borders, you're sure to find the perfect designs to fit your quilt.
• Feeling confused with free motion quilting? Get back on track with Leah's quick tips on everything from machine settings to how to prepare your quilt top and backing before quilting.
• Challenge yourself to quilt one small square a day, then put them together to create the new 365 Free Motion Quilting Sampler! The pattern for Leah's show winning quilt-as-you-go sampler is included in this new 4th Edition:

This is the ultimate free motion quilting challenge and perfect for quilting on small home sewing machines. Stitch a new design every day, then at the end of a year, follow the directions in the book to put the squares together using a simple Quilt-As-You-Go binding technique.

Reviews of 365 Free Motion Quilting Designs

Here is what a few quilters have to say about 365 Free Motion Quilting Designs:

    "This book goes beyond my wildest expectations...the only thing I can compare it to is an iPad: you don't realize how much you needed it until you have it. This is one of those ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE books I will recommend to every FMQer and wanna-be. And now that I have a copy, like the ipad, I cannot imagine *ever* having been without."
 
   "Leah's idea to create 365 free-motion quilting designs and share them for free on her blog has revolutionised teaching machine quilting forever! This picture book is designed to be used in conjunction with her terrific website videos on how to quilt each one. Leah's enthusiasm shines through every blog post and encourages new and experienced quilters to have fun with free-motion quilting. As a machine quilting teacher, I highly recommend this book as an amazing teaching resource."  

   "I've been quilting for over 30 years and have bought many books about the subject. For the last 10 years, I have done free motion quilting but am not very good about creating new designs to quilt. This book is incredible as a guide to more designs then I will ever quilt in my lifetime. The photos and detail are excellent. But what is even more incredible is that the reader can access videos on Leah Day's website where she demonstrates how to quilt the design. This is invaluable information. There is not another quilting book on the market that provides this much help. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their skills in free motion quilting."

If you've been seeking inspiration for new designs and textures to add to your quilts, you'll definitely find it in this book 365 Free Motion Quilting Designs!
