I favorite is Flower Power and Square Flower. I would love see a simple feather design that I would feel comfortable trying.
Carol Lang
I love snowflakes of any kind…as no two are alike. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
anna jarczewski
I really love the spool of thread. And seriously, every single motif in your line up ^-,-^
Janice
Would love to see some celtic designs.

Anything feathers and some of the more ‘mod’ straight-line work is intriguing!!!
Lisa A
Feathers are my favorite.
DebbieJ
I just wish I could master free motion quilting but I have too much damage in my neck and arms to be able to drag my quilts through my domestic sewing machine. I do love swirls–probably my favourite to have on my quilts.
Marta
Don’t give up Debbie J… I have neck and shoulder damage too. However I discovered that a small wall hanging or motif for a sofa or chair pillow can grab just as much admiration as someone’s FM design on a large quilt. My butterfly on a pillow top was in a quilt exhibit last March and it is famous around here now..Try again.. you might like it. And yes, I used my DSM to sew it. I thank the Lord for the encouragement found here by taking advice of Lori and other Jaunters. They have helped me grow so much.

With fall just around the corner, how about leaves, apples, and or pumpkins? Corn?!…
Jannette
My favourite motifs are anything “loopy” – swirls, circles, flower petals……

Like all the others, I like them all. I really liked the Dizzy Daisy and the spikes with the keyhole. You make it so easy -one step at a time. Would love the magazine, but I will buy it if I don’t win. Love your blog and Rosemary B., she sounds adorable!

claire
I like daisy-type flowers that could be FMQ.
Tomomi McElweee
Love reading your post everyday. I like using leaves a lot but recently converted to use feathers more.
Tara
Thanks so much for all your tutorials! I’m must getting started with FMQ. I love feathers, but know that simpler designs are all I can manage right now.
ester nelson
I’m like all the people that said “I like them all!” but YES especially feathers. Thank you, and I do like your tutorials as I do plan on trying some of them myself. Wish me luck on that!!
Debbie Lohnes
I think my favorite is still the woven crosshatch / orange peel. It’s magical!
I’m so happy with all of your designs, but perhaps some additional snowflake designs? Thanks for all the inspiration!
Jackie
I like spirals. I would love to see more Christmas motifs.
Renata
I’d like to see more that motifs that cover a patchwork block. I’ve used your designs in border areas. For example, how do you quilt the bento box block.
Michelle
Feathers, leaves, and I still have a softspot for a snail which was what I used to tuck in when I handquilted years ago…it always took me so long to get a quilt done!
Janie
Feathers. Thanks!
Priscilla Golz
My favorite motifs were the turtle, leaves and the pumpkin. Thank for all the motivation that you have given me!

I like the floral and leaves as well as sun and moon.
Margo
I can do flowers…. very elementary mind you! They keep saying that practice makes perfect! Guess I need to practice a LOT! Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!
Hazel
I would like a feather motif that is doable for me…I’m not good with the ones where you have to retrace the lines. The other favorite motif is the leaf or vines and leaves. Would love to be a winner!
Rose Landon
Favorite FMQ Designs would be hard to pick out. I’ve learnt a lot since I’ve found your site. Thanks a bunch!! If I had one design I’d like to master is feathers.
Arianna M.
I really love Irish knots and other traditional Irish designs, so I think a green quilt with those designs in the quilting would be really cool.
Chris Reeske
I like suns and moons FMQ.
Sophie Willis
I choose the square flower and have enjoyed using this. Thank you for sharing.
Mary Grass
I have truly enjoyed all the designs you do, Lori. I am thinking snowflakes, holly leaves and Christmas motifs right now since I have started Christmas gift making. I do a lot of feather quilting but I am always open to more and different kinds of feather. Thanks so much.
Carla A
You are one creative lady….thank you for the inspiration! I have three beautiful young pregnant girls in my life right now…so anything ‘baby’ would be wonderful! Also, I can never get enough Christmas inspired motifs!
Deonn
Paisley variations. Thanks for the chance, Lori!

My first love is beautiful feathers and then my 2nd choice would be flowers.
