I'm using leftover fabric and making mini quilts. I'm not even binding them in the traditional way. I leave extra fabric on top and foldover. Not pretty but quick. I'm donating the results to an animal shelter/pound for the critters to have something comfy to lay on. If they get ruined - no big deal. Hopefully soon I'll be ready to practice on my bigger pieces. I am comfortable with stippling though and that's what I'll use on my current project.

Spirals were the hardest thing for me to do. I still have trouble with them, so good for you on the results you're getting already.
Jamie Wallen says to pick one motif and practice it for 30-40 minutes without switching to anything else. That seems to be the advice you're following already.

Good results. When I do FMQ I just move the way I want. I don't try any pattern. I have done 300 or more quilts and am disgusted I am not better at it than I am. Some of my older quilts look better than the newer ones. I donate most of my quilts now and the kids don't care.

Looks great to me! Better than my free motion!

Wow! I'm impressed! You've started so well and will only gain confidence and skill. I'll bet you'll be amazed at the complicated designs you'll be making in no time at all!

You are doing a great job, keep it going!

Looks good to me. Someday I will get the nerve to try. BrendaK

I think your doing fine. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

Doing a fine job on practicing. Keep going your doing great!

IMHO, I like the look you are getting, kind of fun and just a perfect amount of funky. You will soon be a happy expert at this.
