FMQ first queen size quilt on regular machine - WOW!

Love your quilt and the backing fabric. I made a blue & brown for my DD and husband using almost the same backing. I think it's so pretty. I FMQ on my machine also and with the bigger quilts I'v been doing them in three parts and then sewing the three sections together. It's a pain but so much easier quilting.

And that story is why I'm on a quilting strike! Fortunately, I'll be able to buy a long arm at the end of the year. So for now, I'm putting tops with their backs and prepped binding strips on hangers in my closet. I still get to piece and I'll have plenty to practice on when I get my machine.
I HATE wrestling with a quilt!

When I quilted a king sized quilt on my machine, I did it in 2 pieces and then joined them. I could never have got the bulk of that quilt through the machine otherwise. If I do it again, I might do 1/4 th at a time and then join.
