I learned (at least for beginner) this is almost impossible. The bulk of the quilt was hard to maneuver especially in center and much frustration plus ripping out. I kept telling myself this is a practice quilt and for my own use so hung in there. :? To make matters worse, I decided to be "artistic" in center and do flowers, leaves, waves. When I stopped to adjust fabric, there are obvious bobbles. But DH assures me he likes it and it looks good. I like the colors and I find as I got closer to outer edges of quilt the FMQ got more fun. But probably won't attempt this again :roll:

It's beautiful!! From a fellow Coloradan

Looks wonderful to me!!
I am in process of making a queen size that will come to the floor. I will quilt it on my home machine. I am thinking wonky flowers on top and curves and such on the sides. Nothing as fancy as your detailed flower. Wow!

Hope my firsts looks that good it is very pretty Did you use patterns for flowers in center of block?

DH is right. You did a nice job!

You did an awesome job. Looks great.

The quilt is beautiful and you are to be commended for accomplishing such a daunting task. Enjoy your masterpiece!!

Hi, fellow Coloradan. I'm near Longmont.

Great job, Shirley-love your colors! I only have the guts to try small wall quilts, runners, etc on my machine! Just still trying to get the hang of it-I usually hand-quilt and hand-applique!

I think it looks great!

But I'm with you, I won't be attempting anymore large ones on my tabletop machine. lol
