I too love the free motion quilting. I really enjoy all the parts not that I am an expert in any of them. I finish all my projects. I usually have two going. One for home and one to take to the group. I have minimal stash. I don't buy yardage but accumulate leftover pieces and rarely buy a precut for a project.i have a lot of scraps and scrappy patchwork is my favorite kind of quilt.
