Well I think you did great! Do keep at it. My "first" was a disaster. I broke every needle in my house! I still gave it to my niece thinking she'd never notice. The first thing she said was...."You did free motion quilting!" LoloL I didn't try again for over a year. I've done six since. My last was a king size for my dear sister. It was no way near perfect but my sister loves me.
