I start off nice and relaxed but as time goes on I hunch my shoulder.

When doing spirals with a specific shape (heart, leaf, etc) there are many instances when an extra spiral, or two, balances the stitch pattern better than alternating. It just becomes more "fluid" and less regimented and that's what the FMQ is all about (I feel). It has the "human touch" as opposed to those patterns that follow a panto or computer program. You are doing a lovely job!!!
