This was my thought too. Apparently, you hold the pencil still and move the paper as if it were fabric under a needle. I do know that my DIL "doodles" her designs for a long time on paper before she does her quilt. It makes sense, because your subconcious will record it and hopefully it will flow from your brain to your hands. Good luck.

I make plenty of orphan blocks to pass time and/or just test color combinations.Later I assemble those to make blocks of about 12" or so. Having plenty of those I use them for FMQ practice. Later I can cut them to make insulation for potholders or for sturdier purse/tote bottoms. Nothing goes to waste here!
