Congratulations! It looks nice.

I made a list of sewing things I wanted to do this summer and learning how to use my embroidery/darning foot for free motion quilting was one of them. I still haven't tried it but I did pull out a sandwiched block this afternoon and laid it closer to my sewing machine. Lol!

Hey you gotta start somewhere... And as long as you are enjoying the journey and having fun, that's all that matters.

Looks fine. And how smart you are to have started on a smaller project. Some of us fools (I mean me) jumped into our first FMQ experience with a full size quilt on a small harp machine. There were many more than a couple bad words coming out of my workroom!
