This is the second quilt I've tried free motion quilting. I've done a few other things, but this is the second time I've tried a project this size. I found this design in a You Tube video by Nicole Webb. She calls her design Bottoms Up Hearts. Here's the link to the video:

Mine isn't as smooth as hers. She's using a long-arm machine, and I'm using my domestic sewing machine. Still, I'm pretty happy with what I've done so far. I'm about a quarter of the way done. I'm using a pink variegated thread on top and a lavender thread in the bobbin.

You are doing a Great job.

You have done a great job on the quilting. The more you do, the better it will get. You will gain some confidence in yourself

Great job keep it up

Wow, you are doing alot better at fmq than I am. Keep up the good work.

you are doing a great job, thanks for sharing the link with us

Wow, that looks great for just starting out.

Very nice!

You are doing a great job & you give me hope! I do not have a long arm & have been quilting on my DSM too. I have done some things that look pretty decent & am coming along. It's nice to see others doing it too!

You are doing darn good for just your second time. I have not mastered FMQ at all. And I have been making quilt tops for years. Needless to say my stack is growing of quilts that need to be quilted. Wish I could do one or two as well as you are doing that one!!!

Thank you for your kind comments. It's very empowering when it goes well. I'd like to be more proficient, but everybody starts somewhere, I figure.

Great job! It looks easy but it is challenging...I too need lots of practice..

looks like your doing a great job to me! :D :D

I think you have done a wonderful job. Isn't it rewarding to complete the whole quilt by yourself?

Beautiful.

I really, really like that design. Gives me ideas for a baby quilt I need to finish. Thanks.

Second FMQ? Looks like you've got it mastered.

Very nice! Love the hearts.

That looks great! You're giving me hope, thanks!
Love the quilt, so pretty :D

Great job. Beautiful quilt.

Great job...

Great job! Nice evenly spaced stitches, no eyelashes!! Terrific!!

Thanks again. You are all so kind.

WOW! Nice job!

Looking good so far! Well done!!

wow. you have done a wonderful job. I am learning fmq. too on my home machine, just on scap material with pieces of blanket inbetween I can only hope I get as good as you are soon.

Great job. Looks good to me.

looks like you've done 30 or so quilts, I like the design you chose, I think I am going to save that one for future ref

Looks great to me! I too just started trying FMQ and have been practicing on small projects. Also using a home sewing machine. It is hard! I'm not as good as you yet, but practice makes perfect. Keep it up!

Very nice!

wonderful for your second try it is taking me longer than that.

I think you are doing an awesome job.

I love it.

Great job! What weight thread are you using?

Great job keep it up.

It looks wonderful. I still don't have the courage to try this.

Very nice work, especially for your second quilt! Keep it up and pretty soon you'll amaze yourself and how good you get. You're right where I was a couple of years ago, and it's obvious you have a talent for FMQ. Can't wait to see more of your work. :)

BTW, hope you don't mind that I bookmarked your post; this heart design will look great on a pink and black quilt I'm doing for my granddaughter. Thanks so much for the link!

Thanks for the "site"...I just made a total mess of a MQ ...maybe I'll try this....

Just the same stuff I use for piecing from Threadart.com and Connecting Threads.

No problem. That's why I shared it. Glad you like it.
