My first FMQ on a gift (baby quilt)
 

This is my second project doing free motion quilting, the first time I will be giving my FMQ
work away. This is a baby quilt for a friend's future daughter made from the block "Boston Streets". As a resident, I can tell you that this accurately captures the feeling of navigating around Boston! The daddy does urban planning type stuff in Boston and they picked mostly green colors with animals for the registry.

The squares are 1.5", each block is 15" which made for a 32" square baby quilt. The quilting outlines the friendship stars that show up as a secondary pattern.

The pattern is free at http://www.earlywomenmasters.net/qui...ets/index.html. I found this to be a very interesting pattern, there is 4-fold symmetry to the block but you have to work to visualize it because of the way the pattern tessellates.

Looks great to me. Your quilting enhances the patchwork. Great job

Very cute! Great job on your FMQ! I'm not brave enough to try mine on a project.......I have lots of sandwiches though! Practice, practice, practice! (Speaking to me). ��

Just do it! Jumping in and doing a project is so much more fun than a practice sandwich!

Nice, bold colors and design. I agree that your quilting enhances the quilt.

very nice job!!!

Pretty quilt, and sweet pretty kitty. :)

Very pretty and well done!!

Very nice! I really like your colour choice with this pattern and I had to kind of unfocus my eyes to see the secondary pattern. Yes, it does remind me of Boston streets (altho the only time I have visited that beautiful city, it was under a deluge of rain and we had to navigate around several flooded streets). I think you chose the perfect pattern for this quilt and your quilting is great!

And you tuxedo quilt inspector seems to agree with me!

Very nice quilt and quilting.

Cute! The kitty thinks it is hers. LOL!

I like it ....and your quilt inspector.

Love those bold and bright colours! What a beautiful gift!

Love the pattern and your FMQ looks great too. I'm sure it will be loved. Thanks for sharing the site link.

nicely done

Great quilt. The pattern and colors are wonderful and I really like the pattern you chose for the FMQ. It is simple, straightforward and nicely done. Pat yourself of the back for a job well done and have fun with your next FMQ.

You did a great job. Love the quilt.

Cute quilt and inspector too!

The quilt police appears to be pleased with your work. You did a great job with your FMQ. Accuracy will come with practice.

You did a great job. I'm trying to work up the nerve to try that1

Very pretty quilt. Looks like the cat is saying, "get off the quilt? who me?"

great job, the inspector feels the same.

Very nice...good job....

Well done....love the design and colour scheme. You did a great job on the quilting.

That is such a cute quilt! Love the colors, the design and the FMQ. It sounds like you chose the perfect theme for the family. Your quilting design really accents the quilt nicely. It's a great feeling to complete a quilt done entirely by yourself, isn't it?

Great job on the quilt and quilting!

Great quilt! I love the pattern and the colors. And your backing is adorable! Great job!

Darling quilt! You've inspired me to keep working at FMQ!

Nice job! you're on your way.... as long as you are enjoying the experience. Looks like you've got the hang of it!

Nice job on the FMQ. Great pattern - I'm partial to quilts that have multiple patterns in them

Beautiful choice of colors - and really cute backing fabric. Nice quilting pattern as well.
