They present different challenges than solid colors or high contrast between fabric and thread. However, Leah has asked us to share our experience, so I want to make sure that anyone reading my blog can "see" the experience, too. That is why I always include the backside image. I'm glad you find it helpful.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-76011087159298976402012-10-10T16:14:45.908-07:002012-10-10T16:14:45.908-07:00Yes, I am quite fortunate to have a fabulous view....Yes, I am quite fortunate to have a fabulous view.

Flowing Lines, as a pattern, has the FMQ advantage that the lines don't have to be perfectly straight or the angle, just right. Therefore, it is very forgiving, especially if you have been quilting long enough to get your hands, foot and eye in synch. <br /><br />It is always a joy to see your name, Treadle Music.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-75553542062440498052012-10-07T09:49:48.401-07:002012-10-07T09:49:48.401-07:00Same here....this has been a 'go-to' for m...Same here....this has been a 'go-to' for me also. When it has just the rounded features it personifies serenity (as you pointed out-perfect for water, sky, etc). Aren't batiks versatile??? Love your sample/motif!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
