Nice work for your first quilt!! You will definately improve with each work you do. I would try straight line quilting for a while to get the feel of handling your quilts on the machine, and then practice FMQ on a practice quilt sandwich for a good while before doing a real quilt. Give yourself plenty of time so you aren't nervous any more. You'll be so much happier than if you end up having to rip, rip, rip!! Uuughhh!!!
