How did you do? Well, much to my surprise I really enjoyed this pattern. I have been so scared of curves, but here I kind of got into a vibe. I was a little lost, though, when I got to an edge and had to loop back (as you see in the upper left corner). I should have just traveled along the edge a bit and started another concentric circle. Live and learn.
What's up for next week? Had enough with curves? What about going back to straight lines and trying these Pine Needles?

Oh yours look brilliant!! Well done! I'm loving next weeks pattern :) That should get be back in the game ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely getting the hang of FMQ! Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteRe-posting Leah's pic first gets me everytime!! - and I swear you are too good! But you are doing great so one day you will catch me out!
ReplyDeleteI like the how you changed direction after making the initial middle part. It looks like you have placed a small flower or clover in the middle.
ReplyDeleteYou did great Cindy - I shall try and get mine up tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh that does look like a tough one... well done with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! The pattern looks tough. I haven't had a chance to practice last week's or this week's pattern, so I will have some catching up to do next week.
ReplyDeleteOh well done, what a great job! Good on you!
ReplyDeleteLike Hadley I get caught out every week when I think Leah's sample is by you! You've done great this week and your little wiggles are lovely and curved. I've linked up Nicky's blog as she's away at the moment, hope that's ok (and that she doesn't do it herself tomorrow!)?
ReplyDeleteI am seriously impressed! Well done with this one.
ReplyDeleteGood job madam! The little center reminds me of the little background flowers on Sponge Bob.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that I'll get enough time to sit down and do this. I may do a crash course to catch up one Sunday.
Good stuff
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, Susan! I think this week's pattern was a little tougher than beginner, but you did a great job on it! I'm pretty excited about next week's pattern. Straight lines seem to like me a little better than curves!
ReplyDeleteI love them all - keep em coming Cindy! You see I coerce my friends to link up with you even when I'm not here! hehe!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great!
ReplyDeletei have changed various settings in the blog, so I am just experimenting (sorry) to see if this lets replies happen... Sorry Cindy, you are getting landed with my ineptitude.
ReplyDeleteCheers

ok try again..
ReplyDeleteApologies, I am trying yet again!
ReplyDeleteHi again- according to Kiki's instructions I should be available- and have been all along, so I do not know why I am again 'no reply'
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I am going to try this stitch out this week and hopefully be able to link up. I have just done the random FMQ pretty much on everything except one quilt which I tried to make flowers FMQ style! Thanks for bringing me back to the FMQ Project, I was looking at it a while back but forgot about it.
