The FMQ potholder adventure continues

[ATTACH=CONFIG]378492[/ATTACH]
So here's another attempt. It's kind of messy, but the front of the potholder is very busy so it doesn't show the mess so much. I still have thread tension issues, but I feel like I'm getting the general idea. I can't imagine, though, doing this on anything bigger than a potholder!

Not bad! Glad to see your practicing on pot holders. One of my favorite ways to learn FMQ.

I did some practice FMQ on a "plain-ish" potholder and then folded it in half and sewed down the side and across the bottom. Perfect holder for my rotary cutter when traveling or a nice, custom case for my glasses!
