CaleyH, I enjoy seeing your pictures. I am brand new, really brand new to FMQ myself. It's exciting to learn something new that has the potential to be beautiful, if I practice enough. For my very first attempts I didn't even use practice blocks - I just used scrap material with some batting. I tried lots of different stitches - meander, loops, circles, feathers - I definitely developed favorites quickly. I eventually moved on to practice blocks. Then during the pandemic I just sewed some plain blocks together into a twin sized quilt and made each block a different stitch (repeating about 6 or 7 different stitches). It's not my favorite quilt, but it was good practice!
Here's a pic of my very first attempts
Have fun!
