Anything you can do easily on paper is good to begin with.

kwiltkrazy--pics are still downloading but I've seen enough so far to say WOW! And we are Doll quilt swap partners--lucky me. Love the way you've used the insulbrite and can now use these for potholders. This will make a good hands on activity for our quilt guild. (I'm on the program committee so am always looking for ideas.) Gladie
PS Your doll quilt is still a WIP--have most of the piecing done.
PSS I hope you don't mind--I just saved your pics to share with the QG committee members. G

I have "Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy" by Eva Larkin. So far, it still isn't easy but I keep practicing. Haven't been brave enough to try it on an actual quilt yet--still using practice squares. Maybe someday......
BTW-several of you Ga. gals are waaaay up the road from me! jan
