YOU CAN DO IT! I know you can! One of the keys to successful FMQ is to relax! I know! I made a quilt for my daughter last summer. I wanted to take it to a LAQ, but I couldn't afford to. Sooo it was either quilt it myself or have yet another UFO in my closet and a very disappointed daughter. I finished the quilt while she was away at camp last summer. She came home to find it on her bed. She was nine at the time and she was so happy. The quilting is not perfect by any means, but my daughter loves the quilt and I am so glad I went ahead and did it. It doesn't have to be perfect. Trust me. I know.
