"I had ditched around all the blocks in advance. There was lots of thread burying to do because of that, but much easier than trying to "travel" with the weight."

I gather you fmq around each block, but what do you mean about thread burying. I just make tinier stitches and cut the thread close. How did you start and end each stitching unit. I think you can teach us a lot. In fact, I'm running to get my book "Hooked on Feathers" which I bought but never tried. I will now. Absolutely beautiful.

It's merely that I prefer to bury the thread tails in the layers rather than cut them. I do 2 or 3 teeny stitches first though.

I just took a FMQ class last Saturday and can't wait to try it on the piece I threw together before the class. I don't know how it will go because I think one needs to know how to draw a few things before doing FMQ. I may end up just doing stippling my first piece.
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful.

My favorite colors! Beautiful quilting too. I don't think I will ever get to quilt like that. I want to get innovative, but I also don't want to 'ruin' even a charity quilt. So the practice, practice gets lost on me.
