Whatever you do DO NOT just start in on your quilt! make sure that you get some practice in on a practice sandwich or quilt that you don't have lots of time invested in. You may be a natural at FMQ, but it takes most folks dozens of hours before they get the hang of it. I don't want to discourage you, it's lots of fun, but your first quilted item should be a practice piece. Do a search on this board for FMQ and Free Motion Quilting. Lots of tips available.
