I love this Christmas tree panel. I added 450 crystals, the kind of show up on the picture. While I was quilting I realized that I building free motion quilting skills. I learned alot from this panel. I have a Judy N quilt I am ready to quilt, but have been nervious about it so much time and money into material and pattern, I don't want mess up. I may do another panel before I tackle it.

This is beautiful. The stitching gives the "magical" feel to the quilt. :>)

Another beauty!!! Those crystals are so much fun to add, but they sure can take some time to apply as you well know (450 :shock: ).

I think your idea to use your panel for FMQ practice is such a good idea. I should try this as I do not know how to FMQ. With a panel, I could do some thread painting , outline quilting, and FM backgrounds. Thanks!!!
