I FMQ'd them using metalic thread; another first for me. I'm experimenting with a few different brands of metalic thread to see what my machine likes best. So far, the Superior metalics are in the lead.

These are pics of 2 of the smaller ones. The center panel in these was PP on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of freezer paper.

I'm liking the way my "Ponderosa Forest" is turning out, and have several more quilt and finish yet.

Enjoy!
