Get you some fabric with fruits on it. Start with oranges...and make you some little quilt sandwiches out of it and go slowly around each orange until you feel you have control. You have to find your "control rhythm" When you get comfortable with that go to something smaller like cherries. Remember to slow your machine down and remember to STOP and take your foot off the petal when you need to decide where to go next...but try and train yourself to think ahead and look ahead of the needle.

What a beautiful quilt. I love the scrappy look and the white makes those pretty colors pop. Great job and thanks for sharing.

What is this pattern called, it is absolutely gorgeous. What a talent to be able to hand quilt this! Envy!

Ah - the scrap pile - made into something beautiful! I know what you mean about being afraid of machine quilting. Only small projects for me. The big ones sit on my lap and keep me warm as I get 'er done.
