    Not a quilt, but FMQ'd. Here are some pics of a messenger bag I made yesterday. Thanks for looking!

    Edit: Quilted on my domestic machine. ;)

    Thank you; of course you can ask! I do a little bit of marking; on the front I marked the spine of the feather and then fill in around it. After doing the feather, I decided to go back and fill some of the feathers and also add the little circles to give it a little more interest. I've been at this (as a hobby in my spare time outside of a full-time job) for about 2 years. Believe me, my early efforts were pretty awful! I wasn't sure if I'd ever "get it" either. I kept practicing, studied a lot of videos on youtube, got several FMQ books and practiced, practiced, practiced!

    So, don't get discouraged, just keep at it and you'll get better too!
