    Default smaller kaleidoscope with FMQ!

    My first all over design with sit down LA! Chalk pounce was a bust, so used marker on top of chalk with the stencil! Since my washing machine has a clear lid, I watched as it filled with crossed fingers and was relieved when marker color started dissolving!
    The virgin fabric has seahorses all over. I was so eager to quilt, I didn't add the usual borders. It came out square at 52", and it is the perfect size for a snuggle quilt for me; I'm not tall.
    I'm in love.

    Very nice! I love seahorses so might have had a hard time cutting them up, but the colours are great.

    You did an awesome job with the piecing and the quilting. Like Grma33, I'm curious about the pattern.

    What a beautiful and fun quilt. I use washable markers all the time as they sre the only ones I can see as I quilt. Great job!

    Thanks, all! I actually bought a compass for the circles and created this design after seeing a similar one on the cover of a magazine!
    I made templates from old xerox films left over from classroom. I'd be glad to upload it if anyone wants a copy. I'd love to have a 3D printer make more sturdy ones as I use them for many quilts.
    Here's the layout and labels that I use that were already stored on computer. They were created in Word.
