But this week, I had so much fun coming back to her. Every day this week I learned a new FMQ design. Here are some close-up shots of what I've stitched.
I decided to, in contrast to Leah Day's Goddess Quilt, stitch Concentric Circles in red. Because the McTavishing design is so bold and stand out so much with all the travel stitching I wanted it to not be too overpowering, and since there is quite a lot of travel stitching in this design too, the red does not draw that much attention. Because my quilt already has so much colour I was also afraid that it will take away from it rather than add to the quilt.
But I think I am wrong, all of the colours I've used looks great!

The next two designs, New Flock of Geese and Micro Zippling I decided to use together, this time in yellow. That was before Leah posted the Wiggle Wiggle Spiral design with the Flock of Geese FMQ design.
The reason I decided to use Micro Zippling together with the Flock of Geese design, was in the beginning I made the mistake of stitching McTavishing in too many rays in comparison to Leah's quilt. So I was scared of adding it to the others that I might not have enough rays left to learn and stitch new and different designs.

So, as you can see I have a had a very rewarding FMQ week, much better than the one I had last week, LOL.
