Looks very good to me

I really like how you showcased the fabric in the label :D:D:D

Beautiful Quilt!

and as far as FMQ, I always get a case of the nerves before I start. I find that a glass of wine or something similar and a couple minutes outside with a smoke help a lot (don't worry, I only smoke outside, not in house, not in cars, just outside)

And I always take a few minutes to warm up on a muslin sandwich.

Then I get some music going from Pandora on my blackberry. Always have your needle down so when you need to stop you don't lose your place. I stop and start a lot when I first start. Then I get more into it.

Sometimes you just gotta dive in! ;) YOu can always pull stitches out and do over.

Wow Grocifer, Beautiful work! Is the original fabric the koi print surrounding your label? I love the blocks scattered through out, too. It is a lovely quilt!
