Really like your FMQ, too.

WOW your quilt is gorgeous but your free hand fmq skills are outstanding. Your quilt backing shows your incrediable quilting and your quilts lays perfectly flat with no fabric puckers at all. Congrats on both of your creations.

Wow! Beautiful quilt. Beautiful quilting. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

You did an awesome job with the quilt and the quilting, I love the colors and the quilting, oh my!

Lovely!

Thank you everyone - I especially appreciate the fmq comments - makes the practicing very worthwhile!

Wow..... you did a fantastic job on this and the colors are just perfect. I love your other quilt from the other posting also!

This is beautiful... very Americana. Is it: join strips, cut triangles from them, join triangles? Just trying to figure out how it went together.

Lovely quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just noticed you are in France... I called your quilt "Americana", as we do share the colors with you! So it's Americana and French, both. Very pretty.

Yes, that's right - you join 4 strips alternating light & dark, then cut across the strips at 8ins, givin 8in squares, then across the diagonals. You can then mix how you want to give the finished 16in blocks. The pieced border is from the remainders of the strips, joined together.

And yes, the tricolour of France is blue, white and red!
