They say practice, practice, practice but I don't think I have patience, patience, patience. Yours looks so much better than the attempts I've made. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing & encouraging me to keep trying.

Thank you and yes, please keep trying! With scribble play (my own wording), you can cross the lines if you get stuck in a corner. Also you can try starting on one side and quilt in rows so you know where to go. Good luck!

Your Fmq is looking very good! Cute project and a great way to get comfortable with Fmq. I did the same kind of "scribbling" when I got started and it really helped me get the feel for Fmq.

I am always willing to work on my FMQ. I love what you've done. I think with a little practice I could make something similar work. Thanks for the inspiration.
