Practice

I have been trying to get back into the groove of FMQ with some practice panels.  Some things I am quite pleased with, particularly the EKG fill which will be background for an EMS block.  I am discovering that dark fabrics are much harder to see my progress.  This is problematic as the project I'm practicing for is a black background.  I am also wishing that I had purchased black instead of grey for the back of the quilt.  I thought the black on the back would make for an interesting whole cloth look.  But it totally shows any errors or thread tension issues.  Oh well.  Time to jump in and get it done.  I've been putting off the quilting for months.

Good light is key for working with black on black. Enjoying your progress on this one.
