I did these 3 quilts on a small machine several years ago. They have been given away, so I can't take closeup photos of the quilting, but you can see some of it. Not award winning quilting, for sure, but satisfactory and relatively painless.

This is queen sized .. some FM & some not

The quilting below is a mixture of straight stitch & machine emb.

I can't remember what I did here, but no FM, did diagonal right/left around the border
