Just wanted you to show with what I came up now. In October I showed you my test block: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-69933-1.htm
After looking at it for a few days, I disliked the color combo more and more. Unfortunately, this required a trip to my LQS, but sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices, don't you :wink: . This was my second attempt at FMQ with my domestic sewing machine, so please don't look too closely.

Still need a name for it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I thought something like Box Of Jewels, but not sure about it yet.
Thank you for looking,
Anne

THATS BEAUTIFUL, GREAT JOB ON THE QUILTING PART, WHAT COLOR THREAD DID YOU USE

magpie 12-15-2010 06:09 AM

Wow what a difference the color change made. Excellent choice.

AnneT 12-15-2010 06:11 AM

First of all, I want to thank you for your kind and encouraging comments, I appreciate them very much!
The thread I used is "Crushed Grapes", a King Tut thread, which the owner of my LQS disliked a lot and had to tell me straight away, when I showed her the finished quilt. YIKES! First I was shocked and had to sleep over it to digest it, the next day I was fine with my choice again. Taste is nothing to fight about, is it?

clem55 12-15-2010 06:27 AM

That is beautiful!! And your FMQ is great!

sidmona 12-15-2010 06:30 AM

I certainly love your colors and the quilting is great as well, sometimes we are our own worse critics. Beautiful quilt.

Lovely quilt. I'd be proud!! :)

quiltsRfun 12-15-2010 09:13 AM

I think you did a fantastic job on all counts. Can't think of a name but it reminds me of jewels.


The thread I used is "Crushed Grapes", a King Tut thread, which the owner of my LQS disliked a lot and had to tell me straight away
Sounds like a good way to lose customers. I like your thread choice.

Leann 12-15-2010 09:29 AM

Anne, I am impressed. I just finished my first attempt at FMQ. It is pathetic. But my granddaughter is getting it for Christmas anyway!

Very nice job you did!

grammo 12-15-2010 09:42 AM

I think you did an fantastic job. I have a quilt top ready to quilt but afraid to tackle it. Maybe after the first of the year.
You should be so proud.
