I had started a
free motion sampler last fall and set it aside to work on Christmas presents. Since there are so many FMQ challenges and quilt-a-longs, I thought it would be fitting to practice some of those on this quilt. This quilt was designed to be busy and bright, to hide a lot of my less than perfect stitches. Sometimes it's so busy I can't even see the stitches to see how I'm doing! LOL!

Well, that's three more blocks done on this quilt, I think I now have 17 out of 30 done. My goal is to finish this quilt by March! Piece of Cake!
