You are well on your way, it's very good!

Yes, practice is the key but it looks very good for a first try. Keep at it girl!

Thank you so much, everyone, for the nice comments. You've lifted my spirits! I was feeling a little down because I'm not very patient and I want to be able to FMQ like a pro NOW! I know in reality, it takes hours and hours to learn how to quilt like that so I just have to roll up my sleeves and get practicing! :-) BTW...I love this board. You are all so friendly and helpful! Thank You!

that is so beautiful you did a good job now come teach me ok

Looks great to me!

Do you have any suggestions for trying FMQ? I took a lesson but it seems as though one needs to have a little bit of drawing skills. I can only draw stick people and pictures that look like a small childs doing it. Neither would look good on a quilt. :)

Great job for a first time. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Keep practicing

I wish I did have advice! I can't draw. I can only doodle. But, doodling on a longarm is so much different than doing it on paper! When I'm through with these 2 quilts I have to make, I'm going to practice, practice, practice! :)

Oh, I think you are off to an excellent start!!

Good start if that's your first attempt! I couldn't do it that well after my 100th!
