fabulous teaching tool you have created. i also think it is perfectly placed here under tutorials. i have liked leah day idea of practice blocks then join together into a "sampler" quilt of quilt motifs. but i think i like this idea vetter. i have done fmq on domestic machine off & on for many many years. always do a practice piece before working on a quilt. this large area would give better warm up/practice before embarking on a quilting project. the use of a large quilt sandwich like this is more "true to life" than individual blocks. handling of the large quilt body, or even a wall hanging, is one of the more difficult aspects of fmq on domestic to learn. what a great idea you have here!! so glad you posted ....thank you!
