I took my first quilting class 6 weeks ago. Today I learned to do FMQ for the first time and quilted my Turning Twenty and another lap quilt that I made.

Here is the Turning Twenty pic(s):

(sorry about that loose thread, gotta snip that!)

Wow, you just learned today and have already finished a quilt--and did a beautiful job like that? I am very jealous, but also inspired to learn FMQ myself. Thanks for sharing your great quilt. :thumbup:

Actually, that is the third quilt I've finished, and I have two I'll be done with next week at the lastest. Keep in mind, I'm not working right now, so I have a good bit of time until my employment status changes. :thumbdown:

Ok, I want to know just how you did that beautiful quilt? I have doing this 2 years now and I still think I am a new quilter! Did you use a hoop? or a longarm?

sewsewquilter 03-04-2010 06:39 PM

Wonderful job! Very pretty.

Charity Quilter 03-04-2010 06:44 PM

Your stitching looks so perfect. What kind of machine are you using to quilt with and is it on a frame or just on a sewing machine table? Lovely quilting. I dream for mine to look so good!

retrogirl02 03-04-2010 06:47 PM

Wonderful job!!

Blue Bell 03-04-2010 06:56 PM

Wow, you are an expert in free motion quilting. Your quilt is grand.

ToucanSam 03-04-2010 07:09 PM

Thanks for the kind words!!! I did the fmq on a longarm and a frame.

Hope to have another one done next week. I'm very excited that it turned out as well as it did! I was a little nervous going in! :)

Lisa T 03-04-2010 07:18 PM

It looks like you're a natural at this free motion quilting, great job! Did you do the quiting using your sewing machine or was it on a long arm?

Stitchnripper 03-05-2010 01:07 PM

What a nice job on both the quilt and the FMQ
