Katrine,
Do you do your FMQ from the front or the back side? Is your back a solid fabric or a print?
My first back was pieced together strips from the fabrics I used on the front. I found it fairly hard to see where to go w/ my FMQ. I did feathers (Sally Terry's book "Hooked on Feathers"). The others I've made, I purposely made the backs be a solid color fabric, so I could draw on it with my chalk and see where to go. I've done feathers on all three that are done. I'm not sure what this next one will be, prob. a meander.
Also since I have 4 different prints,on this top, the general colored areas are forest green bkgrd. w/ the fish, blue bkgrd. w/ the loons, brown for the deer and medium to forest green for the evergreen needles. Should I use like colored thread for each area? I'll have to fmq from the front since the areas kind of meander across the quilt - no specific shape for each fabric.
