I received most blocks in a big house swap.

 

Swapblocks

My Housequilt is machinequilted with "Cotty 30"-thread. All pattern on my Housequilt are free motion quilted. The feed dogs of the sewing machine were lowered and the quilt was moved under the needle so you can "paint" your pattern.

I chose the color of the quilting-thread matching the fabric color; so partly the quilting on the photos is hard to see. It will be better if you enlarge the pictures by clicking on them.

On sparse patterned fabrics I quilted leaf- or flowerpatterns.

The sky was quilted with clouds all over.

Around the houses and other sewn motivs I did outline quilting.

On intensly patterned fabrics I outlined the pattern with quilting.

Or I did both: outline quilting around the butterflys and free motion quilted grass in the background.

All you can draw with a continuous line you can use for machinequilting. I practise my pattern on a sheet of paper. For I wanted to try so many different patterns in  my Housequilt, I made a plan on which background what pattern in which color should be quilted.
