I think it's great for your first attempt. One of these days I will have to put my big girl quilting panties on and go for the FMQ. I keep stalling because I want to do it perfect the first time, but that's unreasonable. Yours is a good first try, keep it up and you'll be a master in no time.

After 30 years of patchwork sewing, I haven't graduated to that stage yet - well done; my practice squares are only about 6". I did several hand quilting projects in my early years, but sitting at the machine for too long is too hard now.

Good job on first attempt. I have a small top that I use as a sorta large placemat. I look at the fmq I did when I started to take the plunge and although I am still far from very good I can see the progress that I have made. Stick with it. Practice, practice and practice more.

Smart, looking good. Save money and get to improve. Muslin on sale is a good way to get proficient. This from someone who does not machine quilt! Hee, hee.
I used a machine with a template at an Expo, couldn't keep needle inside the linel Must be a sign.
Thank you for your perfect points and determination. Way to go.
