Very nice quilt. I love the blue marbled fabric. I used that exact fabric in a T-shirt quilt top.

I truly wish I could do the FMQ like that. I am having problems each time I TRY: I don't know what I am doing wrong but I end up w/ the threads on the back. I think I go tooooo slooow on the quilt. My practice piece looks great.

Has anyone showed you how to pull the bobbin thread to the top and hold it till you get started? I think that is where you are getting the big thread mess on the back. If you will secure it before you start meandering then it will be nice as the front.
