Nice job! Having lived on the coast it reminds me of a sand dollar -if I still lived there I'd copy it in sandy colors.

Very pretty!

Good job. Love the quilting.

Wow! Thank you everyone! It is really so nice to see all the sweet messages. I completely forgot I posted this picture and it was a nice surprise to be greeted with all these compliments!

To answer some questions:
1) Finished size: diameter = 24"
2) What is the pattern? This was actually supposed to be 4 12" blocks for an old book I have. The book is 'Spinning Spools' and is really cool because it comes with tons of think plastic templates. I think it is a very traditional block so I wanted to update it with modern colors and a new shape, the circle. I just made a arc template to match instead of using the other piece that should make the rest of the square. I cannot remember the name of the block but it was in the wedding ring type family.
3) FMQ first time. I just started quilting this April or May. I had practiced FMQ two times before this... once at the dealer for 10 secs when I bought the machine and second on a scrap sandwich at home. This was the first time I used FMQ to actually quilt something real. It may look nice in the picture but there are a ton of mistakes! I promise!!

I love the sand dollar comments, you guys are totally right! :) I just drew on a shape and went with it.

Thanks again! I love this community. :) ~ Melissa
