Linda, you did great!! I have done just a little FMQ on my DSM, too and seem to find that the leaves are very easy to start off with. Kudos to you for giving it a whirl. I am ready to start a medium size quilt with FMQ...wish me luck. It will be a challenge. Going to get hubby to help me with the spray basting on the garage floor and a big king-size sheet put done first to catch any overspray. Thanks for sharing your first efforts with us.

Wishing you much luck with your big quilting project!!! Looking forward to seeing yours when you are ready to share it!

Very nicely done. For Feline Fanatic to make the above statement about your quilting is a wonderful compliment because she has become an amazing Long Arm Quilter. You have tremendous promise.

That's your first FMQ? Wow, nothing's going to stop you now!

Your FMQ is wonderful. The fabric is so cute. Looking forward to seeing more.

That looks great, if you can do that good just beginning just think how marvelous you are going to be in a couple of months. I have taken several classes with longarm quilters... practice practice practice is what I always hear.

Was asked for a photo of the top so will attach it here, as indeed, the photos above are the back. The quilting didn't show as much on the front as it's an I Spy and very busy.
I don't hold out as much hope for my quilting future as many of you, tho I am so pleased with your kind and generous praise. With my neck and shoulder issues, Fred and Arthur and my DSM, I may have reached my peak already. LOL But whether or not that is so, I remain very happy with what I did, and see more leaves in my future. I am not one who wants to do elaborate nor closely placed quilting since my quilts are not batted.

It looks OK to me. Just try to never stop on a curve, look ahead to where you are heading and not at the needle and keep your stitch consistent (the same length).
