It's a beautiful table runner, I don't care what you say about it.
|
yeah mistakes happen, but if you look at it with a fresh eye all you will see is how beautiful it is. Don't sweat the small stuff.
|
I think you did a good job! FMQing is hard. I would only suggest that you use a thinner thread for FMQing. I think a 50wt or 60wt would give you more freedom to move around since the direction changes would be smoother and finer. Keep up the good work!

Looks good to me.
|
I love your table runner and your quilting looks great
|
I think it looks great!
|
I like it!! our FMQ is just fine...I just took a class last week on FMQ and.....WELL.....Don't know if I'll be doing that again...LOL
|
I really like both sides. A gal in our guild gave us lessons on FMQ. She is a true artist and wins in national competitions. She suggests sitting with a paper and pencil and practice the movements on paper that you would be making on the quilt. Like the excercises we did drawing circles, etc when we were learning cursive writing.

A double-sided table runner?! Wow! looks great! Take it easy on yourself - so perfection is maybe over-rated? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
It is beautiful. Why is it we are so hard on ourselves.
|
Give yourself a break. It's a great runner, and who wants a homemade item that looks like it was made in a factory?
|
You are being to hard on yourself. My thoughts are if I make a mistake I learn something, and the item is for me . No one is going to come in and inspect your work. If they do throw them out. Have fun, anyway it is beautiful. I wish I could do this type of pattern.
|
I can't see what you are worried about!! It's lovely!
|
i think it looks good
|
Really nice. You may not like the FMQ but remember this is a hand craft and an original so it will not be perfect repeats like a SW pattern. Keep it up!
|
easy I do it all of the time...Make mistakes that is what makes our job of quilting unique to us...LOL
|
I think you did a great job.
|
Don't point out your mistakes. I like it.

Hush! No one will ever know. Looks good.
|
I think it is beautiful.
|
I love the table runner colors. You are being too hard on yourself about the FMQ. If I could only do as well. I have commented to my family and quilting group that I have been sewing for more than 40 years and the FMQ stuff is kicking my tukas!!!!
|
i think they are great, what's up with all that willis?lol
|
I didn't see "mistakes" at all and had to read some of the entries to find out what you are unhappy with. Wash it a time or two and you will be delighted.

I don't see the problems you see :-o I think they are beautiful :lol:
|
Congratulations on a job well done...you did a great job!
I love it!!!! |
I would venture a guess that if the back and front don't line up it's probably due to the 'birthing method' rather than a piecing or ruler error.
Next time try pin basting. That way you can make sure your lines match exactly. Having said all of that, I think it is beautiful! |
