FMQ Challenge for August

The FMQ Challenge tutorial this month is by Wendy Sheppard.  She showed us how to do a "simple and fun" quilting motif that she likes to call the Jester's Hat.  Cute little curly-cues that somewhat resemble jester hats.  I first practiced in my drawing tablet.

I was having trouble filling in the gaps.  I'm very comfortable doing swirly-type quilting but I was trying to do jester hats.  I did a quilt sample block next.

 
That went a bit better.  Next I went to the sample quilt I'm creating with the monthly challenges.  Hard to believe we've done 8 of them already.  This is the front side.

 A variety of pink/print blocks on the front and green flannel on the back.

 
So, there's my August challenge.  The hardest part of this challenge was getting it done.  I did this this morning at 5 a.m.
  
Thank you SewCalGal and Wendy Sheppard for the opportunity to learn new free motion quilting skills.
