FreeMotion Challenge - July

The FreeMotion Challenge for July was presented by Angela Walters.  Angela explained her method of FMQ called "Tiles".
It looked easy but when I got to the machine, FAIL!  I can't sew straight in free motion so I had to draw my boxes first. And I think that threw me off,  and I got lost a few times.    
I love the look so much though.  I need to practice more.  This photo was my second attempt. 
Thanks to Angela for the wonderful tutorial and all the info.



Here's a few shots of low tide on the Minas Basin at Grand Pre, at the head of the Bay of Fundy,  actually Evangeline Beach area.  It was an outstanding day in the Valley yesterday. The clouds were amazing.  Took these pics with my cell phone.   Of course, stopped at Avonport Discount and did not come out emptyhanded!  I am making a new quilt for one of my sons, he totally ruined the last one I made him.  He wraps it around himself a few times and then lounges around like that so it takes a lot of abuse.  I didnt have enough of a teal solid that I needed so I had to buy more.
