I've done lots of FMQ this month, but not much in the way of
background or fillers. So, at the 11th hour I made this little sample
of some fillers I commonly use along with some I have wanted to try.
For
the grids and straight lines, I used some thick acrylic templates for
the first time. By the time I finished, I think I may have had the hang
of them. I tried some tiny feathers in there (can you see them?), but
they look so much like pebbles I decided they were worthless that
small. Another new one I tried was the triangles. I like that one.
Kinda fun, kinda funky.
All
in all, a fun exercise. And since the point of this was practice,
practice, practice, I think I fulfilled that with the FMQ throughout the
month and the sampler at the end.
I'll finish this little guy off and send him to AAQI with my other two.
And
what else have I been FMQing? Why the Princess Star quilt, of course.
Here's a pic of outlining the central motif. I'm working on outlining
the star right now, but my Juki is in the shop for timing as is my
Brother. That leaves me with the dreaded Janome. It's behaving so
far.

It looks wonderful. I did not have time to do any quilting in March but am hoping to make up for it in April. BTW, I got a wonderful surprise in the mail last week! Thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL bag (I LOVE IT!) and the thread snips and money for postage (totally not expected!). It made my week! Thank you!
