My Practice Quilt
 

This is my first FMQ. I have tried meandering on some wall hangings but this is my first try at quilting designs on [ATTACH=CONFIG]391988[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]391989[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]391990[/ATTACH]a quilt. It has so many mistakes but I am just happy I got the nerve to try. Probably should have done a lot of practice on some quilt sandwiches but I wanted to see if I could manage a quilt. Although it is small I just used it for practice before I try a larger one. Boy do I need a lot of practice. Hope the quilt police are not around.

I think you did a wonderful job! I just tried my first pattern quilting and I can tell you it didn't come out as well. By the way the quilt is also a beautiful pattern. Love it.

First of, that is a beautiful top, secondly I would let you quilt mine. If this your first great job and only you will see mistakes. I believe it's a work of art. There is never any quilt police here.

I agree--it looks great and a very cute pattern. We all see our mistakes more than others do--it much be a lawy of nature or something :)

Looks great..

Great job! Cute top too

Thank you ladies. It certainly full of mistakes but I loved the process. So much encouragement from this board. I would never have tried but for you all.

Cute quilt and great FMQ job! You should have seen my first attempt!

Great job - I have been FMQ for a while and not nearly as good as you are.

You must be a natural at FMQ! Amazing this is your first try on a reg. sized quilt. Bravo :)

Wow, that's IMPRESSIVE! Your feathers look like feathers, your pebbling looks like pebbling, and you've included a lot more really nice details as well! (My first "keeper" piece was only about 6 x 9 inches and I made a little wallet out of it.) Great job!!!

Such a cute quilt! Nobody will notice the "mistakes" except you, and you have to go easy on your own critiques. lol I think it turned out great!

Beautiful. The quilt is lovely and your quilting enhances it perfectly.

Looks great from here. Try imagining riding by on a horse and see if you can see the same mistakes you say you see while standing right over your work. I bet they don't show up! Keep up the great work. At least you got a start, that is most of the battle.:thumbup:

Very nice, you did a fine job.

wow, it looks terrific!

It's lovely and your FMQ is beautiful!!

I think you should pat yourself on the back! It is hard for me to force myself to try new things. It looks absolutly great for your first try!

I think it looks really great andi have seen it in person.

Thanks Ms Nancy. You are just trying to make me feel good.

Thanks Wendy. You made me believe.

Thanks for the compliments. It means a lot coming from all of you wonderful quilters. This is where I get my inspiration, help and advice from. All i have to do is ask.
