I FMQ a small lap quilt for my MIL and told her that I would be practicing on it....she didn't mind at all~ She has lovely pansy quilt with ALOT of crazy quilting on it but she loves it....it takes a long time to be good at FMQ and I don't know if I will ever get good at it but I keep practicing and I am much better! It helps to use gloves that grip the fabric and a supreme slider so the fabric glides easier....
