Next FMQ-ing Project


Clearly, I can't practice FMQ-ing on air so I pulled out a set of 16-patch blocks that I had assembled last year and started sewing them together.

 

The 90 blocks will give me a quilt large enough for a coverlet for my queen size bed.   This will be my first big quilting project and hopefully the grid of the 16-patch blocks will give me guidelines about where to go next...

    Great idea that helps you complete a UFO as well as practice your quilting...can't beat that!

    NINETY blocks!?! Wow. I do enjoy making 12 patches. Good luck with the FMQ, that should be challenging. I have one almost ready for FMQ, and not sure about the direction.
