Your quilt is beautiful, as is the photography! I know that I still find quilting challenging and that if I was more consistant at practicing it would be much better. My goal for this year is to really work on free-motion quilting both on my DMS and on the LA that I rent at my LQS.
Lea Day is starting a Free Motion Quilt Along on her blog. I watched the first installment (stippling) and her teaching method looks great. Anyone who is interested should be able to find the info here:
