Nice stippling. Love the panda and the colors you chose are wonderful. You are right it just takes practice. I do both machine and hand quilting and combine the two sometimes on the same quilt.

Good for you!!!! I have a back up of items that need quilting but since I have only done potholders on the machine I am hesitant to try the bigger items. Like you I just keep going over it in my mind, but haven't actually DONE it yet! If mine turn out half as nice as yours, I will be happy!!!

Red Garnet gave you a clue when she said 'it's just like doodling' When I first took the plunge, I doodled it on paper, any scrap would do, including old envelopes. I was told the hand/eye co-ordination thing sort of trains the brain so that it's easier when you attempt it on the machine. Now, when I want to try out a different filling pattern, I go back to the paper and pencil first, until I am happy with that, before taking everything to the machine. Well done for having a go, the first time is always the worst!
