This is (was) a FMQ practice piece, but it started looking really pretty so now it's hanging on my wall smiling at me every time I walk by.

I'm usually my own worst critic, but I just love how this turned out.

You should be proud. My "practice" would never look that good

MaryMo 04-23-2013 03:55 PM

If only I could FMQ that well. It is absolutely beautiful .... love the color combinations of fabric and stitchings!

Lori S 04-23-2013 04:59 PM

Its a beautiful piece! Hang it so you can see it and smile every time you look at it. My hats off .. on my best day I have never quilted like that.

Thank you. You're all so nice. I didn't mark anything. It's freestyle. ;)

Chris Anders 04-23-2013 05:41 PM

Wish I could do that. A keeper for sure. Love the colors. Great job!

RedGarnet222 04-23-2013 05:46 PM

Wow you were just practicing. Gonna go and sulk now. Just kidding.... I love it and I am glad you can do what I can't. I love it and I see why you are saving it for yourself.

OH so pretty. The colors, the quilting and so nice to see a quilter enjoying and keeping her own quilting.

Ahh about 15x15 inches. I was a little sloppy about keeping it cemetrical but since it was intended as a practice piece I just went wherever my hands wanted to go. Something I need to work on.

Pollytink 04-23-2013 06:27 PM

It's so beautiful!! Hard to believe it's "just" a practice piece! I'd keep it too!

passionpiecer 04-23-2013 06:43 PM

Well! - whats not to love. Gorgeous!

nanacc 04-23-2013 06:54 PM

If that's practice, I want to see what you can do after you finish "practicing"! Beautiful!!

joyce888 04-23-2013 08:07 PM

Wow that's gorgeous!

Donna 66 04-23-2013 08:10 PM

That is really great--I'm afaid my little tablerunner is not quite that stunning. I'd hang it up too if I were you.

Grandma Peg 04-23-2013 09:05 PM
