It really did turn out quite well; enough so that I felt joy in gifting the quilt, but lack of confidence and fear of inflicting injury and battle scars to a beautiful quilt keep me sending tops to the LQS for long arm quilting. Would love to "own" the complete quilting process and not just piecing!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16487596614936577577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773404417498008326.post-38196323601759089642014-11-21T06:26:32.538-08:002014-11-21T06:26:32.538-08:00Have quilted several small quilts but mostly stitc...Have quilted several small quilts but mostly stitch in the ditch but lack the confidence to try fmq and I am never sure what to stitch where.Lesaurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587695269118533625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773404417498008326.post-74252394657448969952014-11-20T22:02:59.654-08:002014-11-20T22:02:59.654-08:00I have tried it but I need a lot more practice.
