    The pattern almost looks like a winding ways without the curves but gives the illusion of curves

    I can't get over the motion in your quilt. I kept going back and looking again and again, until I finally felt cross-eyed and said "quit". It is a beauty!

    I just did my first free-motion quilting without marking the top. It was a spider web design on each block. It was very forgiving of any mistakes. I used clear YLI monofiliment on the top and a thin thread in a color that matched the back fabric in the bobbin.

    I love this. I've been practicing cutting kaleidoscope triangles using Marti Michell's ruler. Instead of wasting my time on that, I should stick with 2 colors and roll with it. It is really pretty!

    Mea, I remember I printed a picture so that I could experiment with colors on paper -- I am pretty sure it was from the free design section of fons and porter's site. I used the kaleidoscope template from marti mitchell to get my pieces right. they went together very easily!

    I can not tell you how wonderful all of these compliments are! I appreciate them so much!!
    thank you!
