I love the way you carried out the butterfly and the twig like an echo. It is one of those endearing things about a quilt - you see them when you get close to a quilt, but they are probably not visible from a distance. Like a little secret between the viewer and the quilter.
Yes, I only use a DSM ... with no interest in a LA. However, I am intrigued with the S16 and other sit down possibilities. I'm bound that I am going to "learn" FMQing and so keep trying different things.
What you said about the "secret between the viewer and the quilter" rings so true. Now that I am doing more and more of my own quilting, I realize how much I have missed by not looking close enough at the quilting, when looking at quilts. Now, I think I have reversed ... study the quilting, and now missing some of the pieced detail! YIKES!! need to get it together!
