My First Quilt to do all by myself
 
3 Attachment(s)
Well, I know this isn't much but I did do it all myself, I am learning to FMQ. It isn't the best but it is mine. I just want to show all of you I am trying, lol.....I had a lot of trouble with the thread breaking, I think I was trying to go too fast. Speed is my problem, always trying to get er done, lol...This is small -37x37 but it is a start. Not sure I can handle a larg one. I am going to keep practicing. I know that is what it takes. Ok, hope all has a wonderful day. Happy Quilting to you all.:thumbup:

Okay, I am impressed by anyone who bites that FMQ bullet. Good for you. Sure looks fine from here.

If mine were half as good as this one is I'd be happy.Your quilt and quilting are just great especialy for a first time. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing it with us.

Super nice job...!

It's lovely. FMQ scares me, but I know I'll have to dive in one day. :)

richardswife 05-06-2013 10:05 AM

Looks very nice. Have only tried once to FMQ and have been quilting for many years. Usually I hand quilt or else send it out. ;)

debbiemarie 05-06-2013 10:08 AM

Be proud of yourself, it looks fabulous.

quiltsRfun 05-06-2013 10:14 AM

Looks great to me. Personally, I have a hard time doing a meander that looks good.

QuiltnNan 05-06-2013 10:16 AM

I think it looks great, you are well on your way!

quilt-n-girl 05-06-2013 11:57 AM

It looks great to me, it, is sooo wonderful to make the whole quilt yourself, it gives you such a feeling of accomplishment when you are done, and you can say I did it myself.

quiltjoey 05-06-2013 11:59 AM

Looks great to me!

Hooray for your FMQ. I think you did a great job for your first try! Lovely quilt!

newbee3 05-06-2013 02:12 PM

very nice job you should be proud

Nammie to 7 05-06-2013 02:56 PM

You did a nice job on your first try - I just finished quilting a scrap quilt - figured it didn't cost me anything - it all came out of the closet - There were some places that I thought looked horrible but now that it is done I can't find those areas again. We will get better with practice.

Peggy Jeanne 05-06-2013 03:05 PM

You did a good job! Very pretty!

debcavan 05-06-2013 03:06 PM

Congrats. It looks good.

blueangel 05-06-2013 03:25 PM

Looks good to me.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 05-06-2013 03:26 PM

FMQ is a funny thing. A zillion things go wrong and you can't imagine how people do it, but on day it just clicks. Once it clicks you can do it. You can't really say what is different, but it works now when it didn't before.

It's like riding bike. You can't really explain all the things a person's body has to do to do it.

malindaann 05-06-2013 03:30 PM

congrats! great job.

Mariposa 05-06-2013 03:35 PM

Great work on your first project for yourself! :)

Grannyh67 05-06-2013 04:14 PM

I want to thank each of you. It is folks like you who keep me going. I enjoyed this little quilt. I think it will be easier when I get my table set up better. I am going to get some styrofoam and build up around my machine, that will help out a lot. Thanks again for all the praise, It makes me want to try again. :)

dcquilter 05-06-2013 04:25 PM

Looks great! Well done!

mimmy96 05-06-2013 04:26 PM
