Ok so here is the WIP - my cousin's wife found cones and cones of 50wt colored thread in a thrift store for $1.00 each!!! I used the blue for the FMQ on the placemats (I hand quilted the petals). I really like this and I am thinking about making a set for myself. Will post a pic of the completed WH when I finish the carrier strip. However, Skaduzy was nice enough to send me a whirligig pattern that I am itching to try and that may be the next project!!!
