    Default First FMQing on a quilt

    I decided this was the year to really give FMQing my attention. Since January I have been practicing on small sandwiches of varies types (cotton with fleece, cotton top and bottom with various battings). I finally decided I had to try something bigger. I have had a jelly roll race flimsy in the cupboard for about 4 years . I just was not inspired to finish it. I divided it into sections and put it together as inspired by a picture sent to me by a quilting friend. I used the motifs in one of the fabrics to come up with the quilting designs. I am very pleased with the results.
    I have enrolled in a quilting class at Quilt Canada in June and am now really anxious to get going.

    Really cute quilt! What an interesting way to make use of a jelly roll race. Your fmq looks great. I'm still practicing, haven't gotten brave enough to tackle a quilt yet.

    Love the results from your jelly roll race flimsy and your FMQing. It looks soft and comfy.
