Ooops...a day late!
Today's motif is a free motion, continuous line oak leaf. I used this as a block motif and a border motif.

First, a little about the project I used it in. I did a 10" fall fabric square swap in September. I'm a little funny about fabric swaps. The varying fabric preferences can lead to either a great swap or a less than fulfilling swap. I've come to terms with the occasional interesting (sticks out like a sore thumb) fabric selection. What I don't like is mixing LQS and non-LQS fabrics. For this last swap, we were all very specific about what was being swapped and all went well.
Back to the actual quilt. Here's the top pinned using #1 curved pins with Quilters Delight Safety Pin Quilt Covers and a Kwik Klip. You can see the nice group of fall fabrics we were working with.
For the block motif, you'll be FMQ'ing forward and backward. It's a simple enough pattern. Even if you're not accustomed to quilting in all directions, you can use this motif to help build the your directional skills. I started at the bottom of the stem for the block and border.
I'll post a directional photo and the border on black next Monday.
I really like how nicely these worked for my quilt. I hope one of them is useful to you.
