I am impressed! Lovely job and you have never done one on your machine before. You are a natural

I think it looks great! But, I know what you mean. I quilted one of my first quilts (queen size) on a little Brother sewing machine that has a 5" work space. It was sort of like wrestling a bear...lol.

I think you're being too hard on yourself. It's a beautiful quilt you should be proud of!

You did an amazing job...!!! Just think how easy a lap quilt will be now and all the money you saved from having it done by someone else...more fabric money for you. Beautiful quilt!!!

That is beautiful! You did a great job!!! I have a king size that has to be quilted, but I just don't think I can do it on my itty bitty sewing machine. Thinking of hand quilting which I have NEVER done before (since I am a newbie) or tying (which I am still wondering about).

It looks great! FMQ isn't supposed to look like a computer did it. Your flower may not be perfect but it really enhances the quilt. You should be proud of yourself. Anything else you do will seem easy compared to this one!
