So I've quilted before but never been brave enough to try anything but straight lines. Well I did this doll blanket for my upcoming craft fair (24''square) and thought the pattern might be fun. So I tried it.
What do you think?
What do you think?
The whole quilt top. Can you see the quilting?

The back of the quilt. It;s my first attempt so it's not perfect, but I think it turned out kind of cute!

Great job! Especially for the first time doing FMQ. One observation.... wish you'd used green thread for the top-side, to better see the shamrocks. They look so nice on the backside. But, if you're like me, you probably didn't want any mistakes to show on the top so you went with a matching thread or, if it is green thread??? Not that you asked. I just think you did a super job and should show it off!!! :-)

haha, not offended at all! I was just really scared that I was going to botch it, and have it scream MISTAKE! So I played it safe. Although I also didn't have any green thread so that kind of played into my decision...lol
