I'll follow this thread for ideas. I find that leaves are easier to FMQ than some other things because they're natural objects that are not expected to look all alike, so I tend to use a lot of leaves. On a doll quilt one time I did a whole lot of 3-leaf clovers and one 4-leaf clover. On another doll quilt that had frogs I wrote the word "ribbit" here and there, and found that since we are all practiced at writing, it's one of the easiest things you can do on a quilt. The only problem with words is that, of course, they're backwards on the back. Daisies and hearts are easier to do than they look, unless you want them all alike, which doesn't happen on anything I try.
