I mastered that Dresden Plate, right? lol
Just gotta get that kaleidescope done.
I read how to do it, but I just can't get it.
Wanna come and show me hands on?? :)

I really had trouble with that also but when I finally mastered it I must have made 6 or 7 quilts right off because it turned out I was trying to make it so much more difficult than it really was. Wish I could show you.

I always hand quilted but I have too many ideas floating in my head to take that much time with each project. Thank you, my friends.

I always tend to want to learn to do the "hard" stuff way before I learn the basics. It makes life pretty frustrating, but I learn quickly that way! I love to FMQ..I'm not great, but I am getting better. Keep practicing and maybe you should make up a few cardboard replicas of your machine for window tossing... :lol:
