The pillow top is a sample we did during my free-motion quilting class. We were to put a motif of some sort in the center, stipple around the motif and do some free motion on the outside.

I tried to think of a motif but kept drawing a blank. I looked online but didn’t find anything that was the right size. In desperation the night before the class I traced around my hand.

I’m happy with the stippling in the piece, and reasonably happy with the free motion in the border. The hand thing is just a little creepy though!
