The pattern was downloaded in four pieces, then taped together.

From what I can see, and I just had my eye exam last week, your quilting looks great and rocking the needle may not be for you. You definitely have a tempo that works for you because your stitching is even in size and spacing and if it ain't broke...don't fix it...Sweetie :-D :-D :-D

it is beautiful. If you enjoy it you should do more. I really enjoy the machine FMQ. I have tried the hand quilting and really admire people who can do it.

Wow looks beautiful to me.

Holy Cow! Your quilting is absolutely beautiful. Your stitches are regular which is a goal of mine--but not happening yet. You have done an awesome job. You obviously have natural talent...don't give it up!

I can hardly believe this is your first attempt--You certainly are gifted! Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks for sharing.

Gee, I don't know. The stitches look pretty even to me. I think you did a great job. Way better than I'm doing on my first hand quilted quilt, I can tell you that! What kind of hoop did you use? I'd like to know so that I won't make the same mistake. I want to get a 14" 'sit on' hoop. Right now I have a hoop that sits on the floor. Don't like it.

I bought the Barnett Sit upon 14" square hoop and I love it. Mom and I both bought them and love them. I like to have my hands free to both work on the piece over trying to hold a hoop.

Very nice job! You are too tough on yourself!
