what's your favorite free motion quilting design?
Hopefully no one will find this too silly. For those of you who FMQ what's your favorite design?
I'm most comfortable (and like it the best) when doing a meandering curlique. Not sure if that's even a name but when I first started I played around with what was comfortable and where my hands seem to want to go. Next would be a meandering bow which would be just another loop on the curlique.

The first FMQ design I used was a cute 3" double heart motif from Quilting Creations (HH19). I was absolutely shocked at how easy it was. The continuous lines had arrows and the whole thing was so much fun. I probably would have given up on FMQ if I had ruined the baby quilt I was quilting, but marking this pattern was the training wheels I needed to get started with FMQ and it is still one of my favorite designs.

Flowers: I start with a small tight swirl for the center, then I go around and around, adding several "layers" of petals, not necessarily all the same size, until I get the size I want. I've just finished a quilt where I did this type of flower in the center of each block.
