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.
