It appears using the pantographs suit you very well. You're doing a terrific job! Once XMas is behind us, practicing everyday for 10-15 minutes, just running freeform patterns will help to improve your quilting immensely. Before you know it, you'll be a master quilter :)
Your doing so well - and that quilt is turning out really pretty! I'm sure they'll love it!
