Coming along great!

Perfect practice makes beautiful quilting. Always try to do your best that way you'll get better faster. I make potholders. It probably takes more time to sandwich and finish than it does to quilt, but I have a finished product that's functional and pretty. I use them for gifts at Xmas time and birthdays for friends and family. The potholders usually go on a wall for display rather than as potholders. These are small projects and can be used to try new and different quilting techniques. Keep practicing; you're doing great.

looking good! I can't seem to relax enough to do lovely large feathers myself. I'm too tense. someday!!

A journey begins with the 1st stitch....we who FM have those samples too......You will have ball....

Heck! I have just recently discovered a walking foot! FMQ hasn't even entered my world yet! I think you have given me the incentive to learn FMQ... thank you!!

You are doing a great job. I'm still practicing (and sometimes on a quilt :D).

So much better than I could do. Thank you for sharing your progress.

I recommend a glass of wine.

I think I'll try that this weekend ;) If you find me curled up under the table in a UFO top, you'll know I did that part wrong :D

I think they look really good, and I fully agree that when you start getting tired, you start messing up. You need a lot more stretch breaks with FMQ, You are doing well, keep practicing. the bigger meander comes along all at once
