It may be a tad off center, but I think it's wonderful. Your lines & curves are nice & smooth, and the stitches are pretty much even. I like your design, too.

We all started somewhere. You are off and running. Don't get discouraged and you will have a very enjoyable lifetime hobby - maybe even a career!

so I was wondering how you do that on a big quilt. I'm doing one now but just making boxs out of it.

Good for you! Practice, practice, practice......it's the only way - but you have a good eye for smooth curves. One thing I was told is to keep looking at where you WANT to go, not where you are. Can't say it's made my free motion much better, but I'm still in the practice mode.
