Cute, cute quilt. I think you did a great job on the quilting.

Wow! Your quilt & your quilting is beautiful. I sure wouldn't care if it took me a week if it turned out this good. Great job. It will make some little child very happy

Cute quilt and very nice quilting. Quilting panels is a great idea for learning FMQ, not that I've done it myself, I'm still not comfortable with FMQ, but hope to soon.

I think that is just very fine quilting! I think you can quit practicing and start charging folks like me!

Adorable quilt...

Such a cute quilt, and your FMQ is really nice!

This looks fabulous and taking your time to do it to your liking has paid off. There are a lot of intricate little details in that panel, like outlining the dinosaurs and the words, that have to be done slowly if you want any degree of accuracy. And your clamshells are divine! I am also in the molasses camp. And while it may take me longer than some to finish a quilt I am still faster than the 4+ years it took me on average to complete a handquilted queen size quilt.

Good job!!!

That is so cute. I love what you did! Very very nice and your quilting is stunning.

rilene 11-13-2015 02:25 PM

It is just beautiful! What great FMQ you've done! Worth the time!

NanaCsews2 11-13-2015 03:35 PM

Really? FMQ takes a week and you call that slow? Honestly I personally think that is pretty darn good for someone on a learning curve. I fmq on my Jane or Ellegante, and it takes longer than that for me to do a quilt. Once its done, the time it took didn't matter. It was the end result that gives the satisfaction. I can only wish for a Tiara or an LA. Not going to happen so I trudge along but enjoy every minute of it.
This is a very happy lovely quilt that someone is sure to enjoy for a very long time. I love it!

What a professional job you are doing! That is just awesome!

texaspam 11-14-2015 03:33 AM

You did a fabulous job. You will probably get faster as your confidence increases. All it takes is practice. I think you are doing an excellent job with your quilting designs.

giquilt 11-14-2015 04:46 AM

Wow this is great!

Becky's Crafts 11-14-2015 05:44 AM

That's a really cute quilt and I like your quilting too! Certainly looks as though you're getting there! My husband buys from Nancy's Notions for me on occasion so I put one of those quilting foot and stencil packs in my wish list. I'm hoping that will help me get even better on my FMQ.

omaluvs2quilt 11-14-2015 10:14 AM

You really did do a fantastic job! An adorable quilt that will some little one VERY happy!!!

rainsprite 11-14-2015 10:20 AM

Love your quilt and your attitude! Both are delightful and wonder of wonders, no one would ever guess this panel was your first time out. You are pretty amazing. Thank you.

Notwendy 11-14-2015 10:29 AM

What a great idea. I too am afraid to fmq on pieced work that involved hours/days of work using my favorite fabrics. Though I know I need to start somewhere - panels might be just the ticket! I've also been collecting pretty, flat sheets and decorative pillowcases to practice various blocks - those would be good candidates too. Thanks for sharing - I was dinosaur crazy when I was little. Though I know there are fewer fabric choices for boys, some little girl would love your quilt!

Karamarie 11-14-2015 03:12 PM

Awesome to both the look of the quilt and the quilting. Practice, practice, practice makes FMQ better everytime.

Tweety2911 11-14-2015 06:52 PM

Great job on your FMQing! Your quilting is so perfect. Love the quilt and some lucky child will absolutely cherish it!
