    This is my second completed quilt and my first attempt at FMQ. (My first quilt was a small lap quilt with just basic SID quilting.) It was fun doing the FMQ in the wide border and because it's a utility quilt (it's a doggie quilt for my collie), I wasn't toooo nervous about trying FMQ on a "real" quilt. My collie is very forgiving of human mistakes, lol.

    Thanks for looking! I am hoping to keep my courage up and continue with FMQ -- I can see it becoming a favorite part of the quilting process if/when(!) I get better at it :-)
