The last quilt I just finished FMQ has lots of places where the stitches jumped and are bigger than they need be but since it is for a baby and will be washed a lot I didn't worry about it as my niece will be happy no matter what it is like. One thing please---do you need to wash your finished quilts after they are sewn? and why when it will be dirty almost right away?
