More FMQ!

So I joined ANOTHER FMQ group! Found this one yesterday, I think I'm addicted ;)  If I get all the quilts made from the groups I have joined this year, I'm sure to be an expert quilter by 2013!

 

The January 'challenge' was a nice little leafy design. I used a variegated rayon thread to do my practise piece. I think it looks ok, the blocks I made last weekend definitely helped with the confidence for this mornings effort - I jumped straight in, and I'm pretty pleased with the result! I did put a little extra flower and some swirls on there, just to see if I could do it again :)

Some pics!

I am going to go ahead and do the sample quilt as suggested. I picked out some nice solid fabrics and I'm going to try Bamboo batting for the very first time! I should get that put together in the next few days, just in time for the February Block!
