My favorite quick quilt is a FMQ meander. Think puzzle pieces with no straight lines. I'll do a few pieces then do something that looks like a flower to keep it from being too straight. I have found that when I am working on a quilt the best way is to spray baste and pin one day and start on the FMQ the beginning of the next day, when I can devote the entire day to the process. When I start and try to pick up the next day, it's hard to get the meanders the same size. Just relax your shoulders and go. Check the back with your fingers to make certain you are not getting "eyelashes" when you either go clockwise or counterclockwise, then you will know which direction to slow down in the curves.
