these are a few cheater panels that I used to learn and practice free motion quilting. They aren't perfect but I am giving them away as gifts anyway!

Oh well done - they look good! I read somewhere when I first started FMQ to practice on cheater panels, which I did, and it does help lots. It really helps you learning to move around instead of the feed dogs guiding.

Absolutely wonderful. I LOVE the first one. Wish I was in your family........ :lol:

What a great job you have done making these wonderful quilts!!
I love each & every one of them. Great work, too!!
:D :D :D :D

What a great idea to use cheater panels to learn with.
I think you did a great job and anybody with eyeballs would love to have one of these! :-P

I think you did a wonderful job on these!!! What an awesome way to learn and practice :D:D:D

They look good to me. Love those panels!

Great job---I love your quilts.

They look nice to me. :thumbup:

Very nice, good job!

From here they look great!
I love free motion quilting - although I did just get a pcq to go on my quilting frame. I figure I'll quilt like the pros first then learn along the way to free motion lol. At least then I won't get too discouraged right away.(I know I would and then just not use my mid arm)

OK, what's a "pcq"??? :D

:) Nice gifts. They came out great.
I think I'll buy a couple of cheater panels.

I love them.

Beautiful! Want my address? :lol:

They look great!

Great panels and you did a wonderful job!

Daistboo9--Your quilts look wonderful! Lucky family members that receive these!

Their soooo beautiful! Great work.

Absolutely Gorgeous !!!

Lovely panels. Great idea.

I think you did a GREAT job!
Give yourself permission to celebrate your success!
admit it ;-) once you started, you realized it wasn't that hard to do - -you just needed to get over that initial hesitation of "can I or can't I"?
And, I can tell you - - the more you do it, the more ideas you will have for more to do! And, then, one day you will be looking at a picture of a quilt and start tracing the pattern with your finger ... and it will show up on your next quilt!
The world is now your oyster! <wave> :thumbup:

Daisyboo9,

That green and red, dark print Santa is laying across my sofa, RIGHT NOW! That is scarey, one to the right of me and one to the left. . . . getting confused.

Looks good. I used that panel to practice stitch in the ditch and thought I would go back and do more fmq details.

Thanks for sharing, and don't we have great taste!

You may not think they are perfect, but they are!!! Anything you see as "a flaw" will wash out.......besides, if anyone is THAT critical, they shouldn't get one.........you did GOOD! :thumbup:

They look great to me. I HAVE to learn to do FMQ.

There are all beautiful, but I agree the 1st one is fantastic. I would love to be the receipiant of the 1st quilt. Great Job :)

Very pretty a you did such a wonderful job..
