Did you download the quilt pattern or were you taught how to create the quilt pattern?

The pattern was downloaded in four pieces, then taped together.

From what I can see, and I just had my eye exam last week, your quilting looks great and rocking the needle may not be for you. You definitely have a tempo that works for you because your stitching is even in size and spacing and if it ain't broke...don't fix it...Sweetie :-D :-D :-D

it is beautiful. If you enjoy it you should do more. I really enjoy the machine FMQ. I have tried the hand quilting and really admire people who can do it.

Holy Cow! Your quilting is absolutely beautiful. Your stitches are regular which is a goal of mine--but not happening yet. You have done an awesome job. You obviously have natural talent...don't give it up!

Gee, I don't know. The stitches look pretty even to me. I think you did a great job. Way better than I'm doing on my first hand quilted quilt, I can tell you that! What kind of hoop did you use? I'd like to know so that I won't make the same mistake. I want to get a 14" 'sit on' hoop. Right now I have a hoop that sits on the floor. Don't like it.

I bought the Barnett Sit upon 14" square hoop and I love it. Mom and I both bought them and love them. I like to have my hands free to both work on the piece over trying to hold a hoop.
