I need LOTS of practice with FMQ, so I used up some scraps and made a doll quilt for my GD. I am sure neither she or her dolly will care what my stitches are like. ;)

front..."Mother Goose" characters not too bad...thread blends in!!!

backside....I used cream thread so I could see better. Probably not the best idea!! HAHAHA

Oh...the binding was also scrap. Left over from my step daughter's quilt.

I have some practice hot pads for the same reason! My table doesn't care if the hot pad is a bit odd looking!

Keep practicing. You will get to where you want to be eventually and in the mean time I'm sure there are lots of "babies" that need quilts.

I work with two single moms...both with 3 year old daughters. So there will be the next two doll quilts to practice on. :D

Your quilt is so cute! Love the back too. I've been doing quite a bit of FMQ practicing too. It's addictive I think.

I agree...I surprised myself once I got going...I didn't want to leave. And I could feel myself getting into a rhythm. When I look at the backside, (stitches very visible as I used cream colour), I can sure tell where I started, and where I finished. I think I am going to enjoy this once I get a bit more practice.

Yes, I feel the same way! Once you are in that "rhythm" it is very satisfying. Staying there takes the practice I guess.
