My first FMQ quilt - I'm EXCITED!
 

A friend gave me this panel, but I wanted it square, so added the strips. The backing was also there, but had to be made square. With the instruction and encouragement that I have received from THIS board, I was brave enough to try FMQ on this quilt. Un fortunately my pics didn't seem to show the FMQ very well. I'm really pleased with it. There are only a few places that only I know about that are not quite the way they should be.

I will use this as a loving reminder of when I first started to FMQ.

Thanks to ALL of you on this board.

BTW, this will go to my niece in Wichita, who is due in August.

What cute panel! It looks great!

That's too sweet.:)

Congratulations....looks great!

Love your quilt

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Congrats on the FMQ. Every time you do it, it will get easier and better. Be sure to practice your new designs on paper is my best advice. Oh and breathe while stitching. I love FMQ and I hope you will smile as widely as I do while doing it.

Oh, that's wonderful for a baby! Your niece is going to love it! Very bright and cheery....

The quilt is beautiful. Congrats on FMQ and the new addition to the family.

Thank you all so much! I can hardly wait to do FMQ again. Think I'll just have to make up a baby quilt "just to have in case".....LOL

This same friend who gave me this panel also gave me some really pretty children's fat quarters, so perhaps I'll have to play with those.

Great way to practice free motion quilting. Very cute quilt!
