My first free motion quilting
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm so excited to have done my first free motion quilting on an actual quilt! I did random heart-shaped leaves on a vine connecting thread. I took these photos but don't know how to get the quilting to show up very well. I hope you can see some of it. I am delighted with how well it came out!!!

Wow, and that looks like fleece. Great work!

My quilt backs are always fleece or flannel, they need to be soft and cozy for comfort quilts. Thank you, .

That turned out great. My first try at FMQ was not near as nice.

Good job, you'd never know it was your first time FMQing a quilt.

You did great. Isn't it fun when it turns out the way you had hoped? Looking forward to your second, third etc.

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.
