    I finished this the day after Labour Day... just in time to take my spring topper off the bed! I usually like to make these guys a bit bigger but this one will do just fine! I love the scalloped border!

    I have one done for Fall and one in the works for Christmas.

    So that leaves winter for me to get working on!

    The sails have tiny sailboats on them! How cute!

    My FMQ ... getting better! Each block is done in one continuous line! I impressed myself!

    This is so pretty and a great idea! I like the pattern and the colors. You did a fantastic job on the quilting, too.

    I like it. Good job with the quilting. I can't seem to get the hang of FMQ.

    That's really nice!! I hope to make a topper to go at the foot of my bed for my cold feet! It's on my "todo" list...

    Looks very good! I'm cranking up my courage to try FMQ. So far I've only done SID. Today, I ordered a darning/embroidery foot for my machine from Amazon. It should get here Thursday and I'm hoping to try it out this weekend. Wish me luck!

    Nice work! I am also with the FMQ-challenged group. Anyone who can actually do it has ALL my respect!
