Congrats! Not only is the quilting great, but I love the design, too.

He has a twin bed but wanted this to be more like a bedspread so it's larger than the usual twin size. While doing this one I learned a lot about fmqing so hopefully I'll remember everything when it's time to do another one. It feels so good when you finish a quilt and can look at the end result. On to the next one. LOL!!!

Love your quilting... can't wait till I can do that!

You should be proud. I want to fmq, but I'm scared.

First time at FMQ!!! It looks wonderful to me. I'm still trying to get up the nerve to try FMQ.

Go for it! The only thing you stand to lose is some thread until you learn how to do it. :-)

Thanks! :-) You really should just jump in there. Just be patient and practice. Like someone else told me....be sure and breathe. The really funny part is I did find myself holding my breath until I'd stop the machine to reposition my hands. LOL!!

If I can do it so can you. When patience was being handed out I skipped that line because I have none but this was something I really and truly wanted to learn to do. You can do it too!! :-) :thumbup:

Thank you! I really struggled on the side because it was a little difficult to get the quilt scrunched into the throat of my machine but with some persistence it was accomplished. :-)
