fmq is fun. a wonderfully kind and wise quilter told me to find a quilting design i like and get good at it by using it whenever i can. i also like to make up my own designs based on the piece. then i try to relax and just go for it. it's never perfect but it holds the whole thing together and that's the point of it, and to have fun, of course ! i am using 5 fabrics at least in your runner.
