Great job on the quilting and love your fabric choices!

fay, this is a beautiful quilt. and your FMQ is nice. One suggestion I would make if you aren't doing it, is to use the needle down feature if you have it on your machine, so that when you stop your fabric won't move or jump around. And most of all, remember to breathe!!!

I too sew for charity, and make about 150-200 a year. I think my free motion has improved by the charity quilting because I just go for it!

I bought this material years ago at JoAnn's for my DGD who did not like it, so it sat, unused and unloved. Now, hopefully it will be loved by someone. The best advice I got for stopping and restarting was to "needle up," move a space and start there. It seemed to help. The jerky spots are from several contributors such as failure to "puddle" the quilt, stopping to remove pins, cats sitting on the quilt, and failure to plan my path of travel before I came out of a spiral.

I love it and thanks for sharing your FMQ! It looks good. I feel that I learn something from each one that I do. And such a feeling of accomplishment. Good for you!
