    I have to laugh when you ask me about the lettering. Not knowing what I was doing and first try at free motion, I used the angled zig zag stitch and just followed the lines i wrote. Not great looking close up but looks pretty good from far away. The eagle was done the same way. Just went over the area several times to get the thickness of the stitch I was looking for. Thanks for all the great comments.

    What a great quilt. I can't believe it's your first quilt. Love the words too.
