Shill, thank you!!!!
I know all about the lightning bolts

For many years I've been a hand quilter and learning how to FMQ just about did me in. I think the key point in your lovely post is to practice
consistently. That's where I fall short.
I have a top all ready and I'm terrified to quilt it. It's a baby quilt for my first grandchild due in September. I look at it every single day and worry that it won't turn out well.
Thanks again. I know I can do this but I need to practice more.
