You did a beautiful job. It does not look like your first time doing free motion quilting.

Great job for our first attempt; or tenth for that matter. It looks good to me! And by the way, the library is lucky to have you as a patron.

If you'd like the pattern I used, here is a link.

I didn't follow through on the borders since I needed it to fit on a smaller space, but the pattern worked up pretty easy. This was my first quilting with templates, but won't be my last. It is easier and faster if you can rotary cut, but the old style patterns are really pretty and deserve a chance. I have quite a few templates that I've picked up here and there that I won't be as hesitant to use now.

It's beautiful! My goal is to make a patriotic quilt too--you have inspired me today!

Thank you for posting that link. I wish I had had it when I started mine. I made templates using the bad pieces I removed. They were not totally right but I have managed.
