Gee, this is great. My FMQ still needs a lot of work. Great color combination and pattern. Keep up the great work.

My favorite thing is the color threads you chose. The coral tones added so much design and movement to your piece. It looks so good.

Hi Deb, Thanks so much for the encouragment. This is all so new, scary and fun at the same time. Learning FMQ techniques, choosing thread type, color and design is a little intimidating. I am learning so much from this forum and the Craftsy classes.
