Still smarting from my FMQ issues last week, I decided that my first foray back into the world of FMQ this week would be my blocks for the FMQAYGQAL with Quokka Quilts.I had done two of the next four designs before so those came easier and I find they look better too. I definitely found the other two (Spiral Illusion and Lightning Bolts) more challenging, which was perfect because that was what I was hoping for with this project!
Here's my progress (by the way, I know I'm not supposed to quilt in the white border, but I did my first four like that so I'm going to do all of them this way for consistency):
Pointy Paisley:
Spiral Illusion:
Once again, I found that I really didn't like my stitching in the midst of doing the design, but once I was done and stepped back, it didn't seem to look as bad as I thought. Do you find that too?
Happy Thursday!
