I am working my way through Leah Day's Free Motion Fillers volume 1 Craftsy class. I made up the sampler quilt and have been procrastinating taking my first stitches. But once I got over my initial fears, I am cruising through these blocks, each featuring a different filler motif. In fact in just a little over 24 hours, I've got 16 blocks quilted and stippling all around from block to block. Here are some pics of my FMQ progress...

| The first 16 blocks or Rows 1 and 2 |
Volume 1 covers 50 different fillers...but I had enough fabric to make 64 blocks, so I will be incorporating some of additional motifs from Leah's Free Motion Fillers volume 2 Craftsy class as well! I am having lots of fun creating all different textures and designs all in white Aurofil thread. I am finding the process very relaxing and I am able to move on to the next motif before I get bored (with exception to the basic stippling that is all over the grey sashing and borders--but I am still enjoying that motif as I get lots of breaks when I hit a block!)
Will continue to post my FMQ progress on this project...
