New Wallhanging

This is one of those things that came out of mindless sewing.  Mindless sewing in the Nancy world is hunting up a bunch of strips that are hanging out in the scrap bins and sewing them together.  You then can slice them up and in this case put them into a wall hanging.  The blue fabric is more of the backing from my college quilt.  So nicely aged, 1970s fabric. 

I opted to try a rope quilting design.  I had a stencil I picked up somewhere.  So I marked the quilt with the stencil.  I went bold and used thread you can see.  I started out quilting the rope with the feed dogs up and later switched put the feed dogs down.  I realized this was a nice repetitive pattern to practice free motion quilting.  No matter which method I used, they are not perfect.  This is a slow process and takes patience.
