I got tired of not crossing the lines and if I left it when I came back my movement was different. But...I did complete it!
Thanks for the compliment.

Holy crap, this is your first attempt? Can you come to my house and show me how you did that. Too cool. I wish I had to nerve to tackle one of my quilt tops.

Great job.

Well that looks great. But it can eventually turn into a "professional" if that's what you want to name it. I prefer to call them more experienced quilters, who have spent a lot of time practicing the art of quilting. I think it is just great, and remember everyone that you might consider a 'professional', started out just like you have, one quilt at a time my dear, keep up the good work!!!

Nice job!

snicktrain 04-03-2011 10:19 PM

Very nice. Looks good.

Looks good to me.I've only done table toppers & one sofa throw that is more of a lazy loop than FM.What surprises me the most is how long FM takes.Maybe I'm just slow, but it sure takes a lot of time.

Ditto about the time...thought I would never finish.
I am super slow!

My maiden name is Summers and married name Cooper. First name Susan. Should have named my DD Summer but didn't.
Hope she likes her name.
Thanks for sharing
