You did a great job. I will be taking a half day long arm class at a local quilt store in June. I'm very excited. Keep up
the good work.

So excited for you...and a tad jealous. Sounds like your having fun with your machine and soon past the hurdles.

what fun! You did a great job and bet that now you will be long arming all the time! If you are using a template/ruler to make your circles (or even freehand) I was told to start at "6 o'clock" and move clockwise to get better circles--helps! (that and lots of practice and even then some look a little squashed!).

Looks like you just had a blast, trying different patterns and doing a really good job of them too. Your quilt is lovely.

Oh how I wish I could get a long arm, however, congratulations to you on getting your Tin Lizzie, I'm sure the two of you will be very happy together and make lots of beautiful quilts. I like the simplicity of your blocks that made a stunning quilt. Nice job.
