The last duckie one is my child quilt one (I bought the blocks done up by debbie umphress last year.)

I made quick work of these quilts. But, they will hold up to wear. A book I once read calls these "drager quilts". Cause they will get lots of use. Just quilted for utilitarian use. Good for me, cause I am not all that great at quilting anyway. LOL!
I have done FMQ a lot; I just keep puzzle pieces in my head and go at it in a six inch wide swath, from top to bottom. I would love to do what you do with the walking foot, but cannot get a good medium speed control out of my Husqvarna Fresia 415. I love the curves you did. Keep it up...it looks great!
