This was a wonderful quilt along...hopefully there will be another this year!
hint, hint!
I posted these pics in the BOM thread, but I want to post it here so maybe someone will be inspired by my lack of fear, and try something(s) new!!
I just finished FMQ'ing mine on my little machine. I am a beginner FMQ'er, and knew this was a me-quilt, so I tried some new things. Thanks to Feline fanatic, I used "Diane-shiko" around the appliquéd center. I drew a 1" grid on the diagonal, and attempted to shiko around the grid....by no means perfect, but if I don't try it, I will never improve, right?! I also practiced straight line stitching with the feed dogs down...much more difficult for me than curves!
To all of you hesitant to drop those dogs....just do it! I am going to attempt some feathers....soon...maybe....
Thanks to Brat for her leadership, and to Feline for her encouragement!
