You did really good for the first time, your stitch length is fairly consistent and your curves are smooth. Those are the 2 things I have the most problem with. You can tell where you get tired the stitches get a little longer and where you are worried or NOT breathing they get really short. Keep practicing you will be a master in no time.

Quilting is a fave...

I am looking for an even unevenness. And you have that. Is your stippling going to look just like mine, NO. You will have your own style. And I think your style is very pretty.
My favorite part of making a quilt is the quilting. I hope you have as much fun doing it as I do.

Now that I can do this type of quilting, it has become my favorite part also....Luckily, I have several sandwiches waiting to be quilted...
