McTavishing (for those who don't know) is a style of FMQ for background fill named for Karen McTavish. I have long admired this technique/design, so I thought I would give it a try.
I think I still need a little practice and I also think that it would have looked better if I had used matching thread, but not bad for a first attempt.
Wow. This is gorgeous. I hope I'll take the plunge into FMQ one day. Still sticking to straight lines two quilts in and will for a while, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks Mactavishingly...lovely to me ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooks fab to me - I've always wanted to Mactavish. Every time I visit your blog I intend to start fmq practice. It's an inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks gorgeous! McTavishing isn't easy! But you did great!
ReplyDeleteMatching thread or not, this is sooooo pretty! I can't tell you need practice at all :)
