I love your work, and it brought to light, once again, a question i have been meaning to ask the board about: when you are fmq, and you finish one design such as one of the clouds in the above quilt, do you secure your stitch, stop and reposition your needle where you want to start, again?

I've always wondered that too, and I can't fmq, so I just hand quilted...no problems at all then. :-)

My thoughts, too. I'm also wondering about the flower borders. Is that a print or, are those appliqued little flowers?

That's a really great print I found at Spoonflower from a hobby designer "SuzieDesign", that much more applique would have killed me (!), here's the link: http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/758338
I then decided to just hand quilt around every third flower.
