    Thank you! :) I would have liked to spend more time on the quilting, but had to have it ready to take with me to guild in a couple of days.

    By the way... for round pebbles, if you don't already, you might want to try to focus on the CENTER of where you want your pebble when you're quilting them. I got that tip somewhere on youtube, and it works for me! It's a mental exercise NOT to focus on the stitching line... kind of makes my head hurt a little! ;)
    Thanks - I'll try that. I generally try to visualise the shape of the pebble in the space just before I stitch it. I'll try to focus on the centre next time - in fact, I'm about to do a bubble spine for a feather on a piece I'm working on so I'll try it there. :-D

    Grrrrrr! Why can't I FMQ like that? That is the neatest quilting you did on that totally beautiful fabric. Where was the ugly? I missed it.
