That looks really good, first or not. I'm impressed.

I think you did great too! Love the stars. (Can I say this ..... I like the back of your quilt better than the front? I love the yellow thread on the orange fabric (at least, it looks orange on my computer!)

Great job, hope you had fun doing it.

looks good to me...I have been FMG'ing today and I finally bought gloves...what a difference. I could not believe it....totally worth buying gloves. I got some at Joanns and they were only 4.00 and than I had a coupon...so for about 2.00 I just made FMQ'ng 100 percent easier!!!its a breeze to do stimpling and to keep the curves rounded.

do you have a machine that is sunk into a table or just are you working with the small plate or work surface (dont really know what its called ) of the machine. If its the smaller, I would recommend you make a little table to extend your work surface. I did that and it made it much easier to do smooth curves. You are doing good, and you will really enjoy the savings of not depending on LA service.

Wow, I think it looks great. I'm impressed that it's your first time FMQing. Great job :!: :thumbup:

It looks very, very good. It is more than good enough. Well done.

you all are too kind.
It was a LOT of work. I think I feel like every spot has to have stitches on it.
Need to practice leaving some space.
I do have the machine where the whole surface is flat. Now have another machine set up so that it will be perpendicular to the fabric...hope this makes its easier...will post my next attempt if I ever get to sewing again...been busy folding that fabric.
Thank you again for your encouragement!
