What a wonderful quilt! I started quilting with a sampler many years ago. It makes you try applique, piecing, curves, etc. Did you quilt it too - it looks like you fmq - nice job![/quote]
I was the only newbie in my class, everyone else was repeat students (and I will be too!) One of my classmates has a longarm quilter and offered to machine quilt it for me and I took her up on the offer. I think it's called a puzzle stitch. I'm currently finishing up a table runner for my Mom and I'm attempting hand quilting for the first time. I'm no where near 8 stiches per inch but I'm staying fairly even in my spacing.
