Yes ... I am sitting here anxiously awaiting to see other FWS finish up, as I work on mine.
I've been thinkint QAYG, though I need some practice on it first before I commit to that. With all the work that this is, can I learn the technique well enough to do my piecing work justice? Or I might be opt to send it off to LAQ? or handquilter? Long time before I need to make these decisions!
I am a fairly new quilter. When I started, I quilted a small 20x20 wallhanging. Then I quilted a larger wall hanging. My third was a full-size quilt. I did these in the evenings watching television. I have a queen size quilt I'm working on now and, believe me, that's the last time I will every try something so large on a lap hoop! That's why I decided to do FWS QAYG. I'm just going to put together 6x6 blocks with sashing and then quilt along like that and in the end put it all together.
With the practice I've been doing in the last couple of years I'm ready to do the FWS. Not that my quilting is perfect by any means.
If you start quilting now, you'll have a year of practice under your belt before you have to quilt.
