Great job!

What a nice feeling on both accounts...using your stash and quilting it yourself. You did a great job....congratulations.

very pretty quilt and you did a great job quilting. Good for you using fabrics from your stash-good feeling I am sure

Love the hearts. Did you draw lines to stitch? They look great! I mostly straight stitch with painter's tape. (Not brave enough to go without guidelines.)

Wow! My first attempt at FMQ looked like a first graders coloring! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/eek.png You did a fantastic job & I love the quilt.

What took you so long? Your FMQing came out great and only becomes easier with each one. Fabulous stash buster and finished project!

Lovely quilt! Your FMQ looks nice.

What a nice baby quilt. Good Job!!

Osewme - this is my first time FM quilting an actual quilt. I practiced on a few small pieces that I will use as cat beds. The practice stitches do look like pre-schooler's drawings.

EmiliasNana: the answer to your question shows what idiot I am. Somehow at the beginning of my quilting adventure I got the idea that FMQ is to be done on computer long-arm machines exclusively. Since I had neither room nor money for a car-priced and car-sized device, I thought I was condemned to quilting in straight lines.

Then, recently, just to drool, I watched a FMQ tutorial by Patsy Thompson on YouTube. And I had an epiphany.

Two weeks and half a lifetime's portion of ranting later I had a new foot, slightly modified by myself, a way of turning off the fabric transport better than producer-designed and three very funny looking cat beds. Patsy Thompson, where have you been these last 4 years? The other person I should credit is Leah Day for her band gum foot modification idea.

Love the colors and your fmq heart border!
