Let the FMQ Begin!

Practice Sandwich 1 - I learned not to get too close to the borders because you'll lose your grip/control of the sandwich.

No. 2 - I'm much better at following a pre-drawn line than quilting freehand.  Purple ink shows areas I missed.

No. 3 - Not too bad.  Individual leaves are more symmetrical.  Again, I traced a line drawn with dissappearing ink.

No. 4 - Tried working on a smaller scale, in a defined shape.  Needs work!

No. 5 - I kinda like this one.  May expand it to make a symmetrical square shape.  Had fun varying the thread color.

Doodles - When you run out of quilt sandwiches, paper and pen can help commit the motion to memory.  On the left I added curliques to help me move from one place to another.  On the right I did it the way we're "supposed" to per the tutorial. :)
