After I finished piecing my son's quilt, who is a HUGE Tennessee Volunteers football fan....hence the orange and white, I'd told myself to practice, practice fmq and then jump in. Got cold feet this morning and decided to stitch in the ditch. That looked horrible so put on my big girl panties and went to work trying fmq. I am so excited now because NO LOOPS on the back and stitches aren't way off from being the same size. Still having some problems with starting when I've stopped and have those dreaded points but I'll get there. WOOHOO!!! Wanted to show a couple pictures and to say thanks to everyone who helped me. :-D :thumbup:

Good job!!!!
|
:thumbup:
|
Great job! Maybe you will inspire me to try it, too!
|
And guess what? Once it is done, you will be the only one that sees those points. :)
|

Thanks everybody for your vote of confidence. Off to quilt some more. :-)
|
Nice job. I'm happy for you. Keep those big girl pants on and do more. Every time it will get easier.

It looks good. Thanks for sharing. I'm also about to start my first FMQ on a top I recently finished. I'm scared, but it's the only way to learn.
|
very good!! slow and easy. it takes more time to do than you think it should because your foot pedal speed is going faster than you are, but it works. :thumbup:
|
Looks great!
|
It looks great! I made my own slider which really helps on the extension table! I am also new to this but love it...no more walking foot for this gal...it is too slow!

Bravo, you have inspired me to take the plunge.

Wonderful to look at....it will definitely be fun to cuddle with!! Nice job! :)

I applaud your bravery. I'm still a stitch-in-the-ditch girl. Don't know if I'll ever be bold enough to go beyond that. Love your color choices. Bet the entire quilt looks mighty fine. Thanks for sharing.
