Favorite motifs? FEATHERS! I LOVE quilting feathers, doodling feathers, and I recently finished a quilt with lots of feathers appliqued (Hand-appliqued, mind you, — I love hand work!) on the top! What would I like to see? Well, more feathers, of course, but more masculine designs, too. I can find plenty of feminine designs, but it’s harder to find something to quilt on a guy’s quilt or on a quilt for a couple.

Gee, I have to chose? Well, I like all different kinds of swirls and squiggles. I’d like to see seashells, seaweed, and seahorses.
Linda Levy
Some asian inspired motifs
Bonnie
I love all FMQ but my favorite are feathers! I would love to win this magazine – but will check it out regardless since I’m ALWAYS looking for info on FMQ. Blessings!
Donna Coakley
I love natural elements, like leaves, suns, flowers. Lori, I have copied your apple design but would love to see more of your ideas for birds………..tx, donna
lavonne
I like the mixed texture motifs – like when you did the small and big flowers. I do more modern quilts so the motifs matter and show –
Ness
Pick me! I am sitting at Leo’s in Stillwater having lunch! Lol!
Donna Sofokles
I hope it is my lucky day! I love to quilt anything curvy – feathers, circles, swirls. The smooth motion just relaxes my soul. I’m not good at “stones” so maybe a tutorial on that?
Anastasia
How about a variety of trees 🙂
Juanita
My favorite motifs are hearts and swirls. TY for your great tutorials and for holding this giveaway.

Quilting Tangent
Nature inspired – falling, blowing leaves. Your designs look wonderful.
Victoria Miner
I love to quilt free motion feathers. I have found that I dislike quilting over stenciled or predrawn designs. The free motion saves me time.
Carla Millares
My favorite motif is pebbles, bubbles and marbles — circles! I would like to see corner designs and coordinating borders.
lmenslow
I love dragonflies mixed with flowers as well as varied sizes of stars. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tutorials with us.
Kaye M.
My first love is beautiful feathers and then my 2nd choice would be flowers.
Deonn
Paisley variations. Thanks for the chance, Lori!
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!
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.
Chris Reeske
I like suns and moons FMQ.
Sophie Willis
I choose the square flower and have enjoyed using this. Thank you for sharing.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Kris Leaman
I like the floral and leaves as well as sun and moon.
Priscilla Golz
My favorite motifs were the turtle, leaves and the pumpkin. Thank for all the motivation that you have given me!

Feathers. Thanks!
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!
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.
Jackie
I like spirals. I would love to see more Christmas motifs.
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!

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!!

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.

Love reading your post everyday. I like using leaves a lot but recently converted to use feathers more.

I like daisy-type flowers that could be FMQ.

I love the daisy design that you posted recently. I have made that my new stitching goal. My grand daughter loves Daisies. Thank you so much for the posts.

I love feathers with tiny stippling to highlight.

I love making swirls and spirals.

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

Although I love feathers, your recent flowers looks more my skill level. Can’t wait to try it.
