Wow! Absolutely stunning! Your quilting makes the center even more phenomenal. All three are wonderful, but I have to say I love #3 the most. I think it's the colors.

Fantastic job on all of them. I made a stack n whack several years ago, and sold it. Now I regret it. Guess I need to make another one and also try OBW's. I have so many things I want to make after Xmas. It is mind boggling. This site gives me lots of ideas and not enough time. I guess my brain works faster than I can.

Thanks Hunnib!

Yeah K, it definitely helps me playing with pencil and paper - BUT I do get through an awful lot of paper!
It does help with the "flow" action when you come to the machine - and I draw in the same direction as I quilt. For instance I descend down borders, so I draw down in columns when practising. I also find if I am FMQing something I am not too confident with, it is better to use a very fine thread, cos any wobbles wont show!

Thank you Littlehud, Dunster and Justquilting. I am so pleased people like the FMQ because I am really trying to do only freehand & not follow lines, so picking easy shapes so far. I only did a large stipple in the main body of the quilts as I didnt want to detract from the effect of the kaleidoscopes.
