Took me a week to FMQ a panel !
 

I belong to the slower than molasses club, but am loving every minute of it. Good thing I don't do it for a living! I really admire you quick and accurate quilters. Going fast makes me nervous LOL In continuing to practice my FMQing, I have turned to quilting panels for charity. In outlining the shapes I am learning to maintain control for the designs that follow. This is the first one I have done without the stitch regulator on my Tiara II sit-down mid-arm. I still struggle with what to put in the design areas, but am gaining a bigger repertoire of choices as I continually try new shapes and designs. The panel gives me freedom in that I don't have a huge investment in piecing time or cost in fabric. I am pleased with the result and hope it bring a Merry Christmas to some child.

Panel: Springs Creative Products Group CP46544
Backing: DINOSAUR by Riley Blake C4162
Finished at about 34" x 40"
Thread: Superior Bottom Line Statue #652

What a cute quilt and your quitting is really nice.

So adorable! Fantastic job!

That's all!! Beautiful

Really nice quilting. I am a scardy cat when it comes to FMQ. My practice fabric is usually good but as soon as I start the real thing it messes up. I will keep practicing on my home sewing machine (no stitch regulator however )

wonderful job!!! Your attention to detail shows.

Gosh this is a cute quilt that will make a child very very happy! Your quilting is paying off by going slow. I bet everybody starts out slow and steady. This is just so sweet. I like all the different motifs in the different blocks. I really like the spirals in the blue section.

That's a good way to practice. Your clam shells are spectacular.

Oh my gosh, what a great FMQ job! The quilt is adorable

Very pretty quilt.

A very good job.

This so adorable!!!!!!!!

Your quilting is wonderful! Wish mine were that good.

Apparently "slow as molasses" is good! Nice work!

Your FMQ is great! I love the panel too.

Your quilting is great. You have to quilt at the speed you are comfortable with. Someone is going to adore this quilt.

Don't worry about speed ....it looks great!

Adorable quilt, and your FMQ is quite nice. The clam shells were well worth taking your time ... they look fantastic!

Quilt is adorable but your quilting is outstanding!

These panel quilts are exactly how I gained confidence in FMQing and you will too. Practice, practice, and more practice and you are completing a project @ the same time. Your quilt looks great.

Lovely quilt and I think you did a great job on the FMQ.

It's a cute top and your quilting is extra nice. You did a great job on the clam shell border.

Very striking.

It's an adorable quilt, and you are doing a wonderful job with your quilting! Speed isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm very impressed with your work!

Nice work, and cute quilt! :)

Cure! I like this pattern - who doesn't like dinosaurs?

You seem to have found your "groove" even if it is slower than you want. Your FMQing is awesome and really sets off the subjects in the panel. Great job, keep up the good work.

Great quilts seem to take a little longer but it will be worth it in the long run. Love your quilting.

Great job!! Keep it up and show us more of your darling quilting!

Slow and steady wins the race! sure describes your beautiful quilting! Everything is so even and perfect congratulations.

Very cute and you did a great job on the quilting.
