Okay Katrine I have to honestly tell you what my reaction was when I saw your table runner---

*gasp* "Oh my gosh, that is GORGEOUS!!!"

I am trying SO hard to learn to FMQ and I think you did a fabulous job!!!! Thank you for sharing-maybe someday mine will look that good too!!!

Many thanks everyone for lovely comments.

Marcia - keep going - I am enjoying it & not worrying too much about little hiccups anywhere.

What I find I just can't get on with is the extension table to the machine, and have been working without it. It seems to put everything too far away - I like to be really on top of the needle. Does anyone else have that trouble?

Great colors and quilting in your table runner. Starting small is a good idea!

This is your first one?? OMGosh!! I must've been passed over on the FMQ gene because my first one never looks this beautiful.

I'm impressed! You've done a wonderful job on your table runner. I like that quilting pattern and may have to try it.

Oh that is very pretty and the quilting is darling!.......a quilt is done one block at a time....if you don't like how the block comes out ...redo it.....keep at it till it's the size you want .....that's what I do ....one block at a time....and card trick is a tricky pattern for a first.....great job!.....:-)
