My first machine piecing and FMQ!
I posted a picture of my first quilt top here last week. I realized that I should do a couple smaller projects before taking on machine quilting a large piece. I've also become attached to the quilt top and don't want to muss it up with my first attempts.
My solution, pot holders! I just quilted the first one his morning, so fun. My FMQing has a long way to go, but I'm still kind of proud.

Now to figure out binding!

I think we all started there! I had a hard time remembering to run the machine fast but move a little slower!

Great first potholder. That is a great size to get used to working with everything on.
When I free motion quilt is to go all the way to the edge, then when you put the binding on, the quilting just seems to float across the entire quilt.
Enjoy your adventure.

We have all had to start learning at the beginning. I don't see anything wrong with your potholders. It is good to experiment starting on small things. I quilted numerous dog quilts for a local shelter. You probably learned to NEVER stop on a curve.
