I ventured into a little more FMQing on this one doing a loopy meander in the squares that surround each embroidery block as well as the border. I had some tension issues and changed it a couple of times. I also changed my needle to a bigger size. By the time I was getting to the end I think I figured it out. I feel I'm getting better and might even try something other than a loop next time :)

As this was my January goal in the Lovely Year of Finshes, I am linking up!
My other WIP's for the week included more stars in the Dancing Stars QAL (button on my side bar)
I love how they all look together! I am up to 25 so far which is enough for a baby quilt but I want it bigger. I think I will keep going :)
I will also be linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
Thanks for stopping by--I'm off to make more stars! :)


what a sweet birdie quilt, and I love your dancing stars! Beautiful!
