That's great for your first try! You'll get smoother and more relaxed every time you FMQ one. I use my Linus quilts for practice if I'm trying out something new and they love them. Keep up the great quiltling.

Been there! Your stitches look even. That's my problem. Keep up the good work. One day we will both conquer FMQ I hope!!

I found them. Yes they do make it look easy, but after practicing a bit it does get easier.

Try to practice for a few minutes everyday-gets a lot easier and smoother with a bit of practice! BTW-for a first attempt you did an awesome job!!!

Now if you had told us it was an original pattern called "flight of the bubble bee" we would all say well done. Sometimes we are our own worst critics. Keep at it, it's a great first effort.
