Nice! Looks great and the colours are perfect. Well done with the FMQ...I am still too "chicken" to do anything but practice with scraps!

Good job! Maybe your post will inspire some of us to get brave. I have begun FMQ myself. Maybe I will post some of mine one day.

Thanks for the drawing suggestion. I do a practice piece on a scrap, but haven't tried the drawing. I will do that before quilting the piece I am working on now. I really need to work on smoother curving lines! It is fun learning this technique. :)

Good job! You are going to be surprised at how many people come up and ask you: How did you get that leaf to wave like that??? LOL <wave> P. S. And, don't you DARE tell anyone that it wasn't carefully planned ;)
