I did a LOT of ice skating and roller skating in my younger days. (The last time on roller skates was at age 69) We did the waltz and the polka and lots of tricks, but one skate was always firmly planted on the ice / floor.
I love doing FMQ. I like to make circles and swirls and write words. Last quilt, I wrote around squares. I found out that if I can write a word on top of the square, I can write one upside down at the bottom of the square without turning the quilt around. So why can't I write a word up one side and down the other. I can! What fun!
