One other suggestion is that unless you're really proficient with FMQ, it may be better to choose thread colors that blend a bit more with the quilt. Especially as you're learning. I've been FMQ for years and I'm just now starting to pick thread colors that pop out from the quilt. I stayed with matching or neutrals until my skills progressed. And I agree. FMQ with straighter lines, circles etc. are the hardest to master. Free forms are easier as a beginner. We all have had a few rip out projects and if you just can't make yourself do that, use it as a utility quilt and love it. I have a couple of car quilts for this very reason!
