Great job!

I love the colors in your quilt, and I think your swirls look great, and if you are happy with it, that is really all that matters. I see nothing wrong with your nice swirls, keep practicing, and you will get even better.(Lots of Love) You are very lucky, I haven't got any where to put a long arm, maybe I will one day. I do all of my quilting by hand, and boy does it take a long time. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks so much, it really is a blast :-) I have a 2 day class at the end of the month--can't wait to see what we learn!!

Really pretty quilt & quilting.

You have done a great job! I love to do the swirls and FMQ I love my Tin Lizzy too!!!

My hubby got me the robotics for it and I am not especially excited about it! Although I did find a YouTube on how to trace your grand-kids art into quilt designs!!!

I agree! And it does not "look" like a first quilt!

Great looking quilt and quilting!!

Congratulations on joining the world of us longarmers! For your first quilt, you did a very good job! I also have a Tin Lizzie & really enjoy the possibilities! Like Debcavan said, muscle memory is what you build from practicing. Grab a dry erase board or just doodle on paper til you have the design you want down pat. I see a lot of great quilts coming off that new machine in the future!

I think you did a great job.

WMUTeach 04-17-2013 03:38 AM

Love those swirls! They don't look bad to me.

The quilt and your quilting both look terrific!

Your swirley stitches work very well with the straight piecing!

Jeannette51 04-17-2013 06:38 AM

Running out of tops eh? I could supply you with some practice tops!!!!! Great job on the quilting, can't believe this is your first.

I really enjoy the quilting with the color of thread you used. It stands out and I like that.

Wow, I like this, very different FMQ.

Beautiful quilt & for your 1st time, your quilting looks pretty darn good to me. Keep up the good work.

grandjan 04-17-2013 12:38 PM

I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to have someone say how much they are enjoying doing the quilting. That's what it's all about, isn't it. The quilt is lovely, by the way. Your enjoyment shows.

Nammie to 7 04-17-2013 06:36 PM

We are so hard on ourselves - what we don't like someone else loves. You did a nice job and should be very proud of it.

JuanitaBean 04-17-2013 06:56 PM

I think you did a good job and can't believe it's your first try. Pretty quilt too!

rainsprite 04-17-2013 08:17 PM

Love your fabric, pattern and quilting, well done and thank you for posting your picture. I love Starr products and their hand dyed fabric is great.

Boston1954 04-18-2013 06:06 AM

I LOVE it!! The light thread against the dark fabric, really makes it pop. Good job.

corklass44 04-18-2013 07:08 AM

I want to make swirls as good as yours. No long arm yet. Stunning quilt.
