I recently tried making some baby burp cloths for my great grandchildren & used them to practice FMQ on. I do pretty well with free form swirly hearts now until I get tired. Then I go noticeably downhill. I even tried some free form stars, but I kind of stink at them yet. :-) It was fun though & the babies don't care if they're perfect! That way you can feel like you're accomplishing something with your practicing. Just a thought...
