I want to get better at cutting out pieces and reading a pattern.

FMQ - I think I can, I think I can.....

I want to spend more time practicing FMQ, learn more about landscape quilting. Also try out my tumbler & dresden template.

I have helped my cousins do hand quilting and have kind of learned how to do it but in 2015 I would love to hand quilt my own quilt all by myself. (sounds like a 4 year old). But I do!!

Just get better at everything, FMQ, cutting material, confidence in trying new patterms.

Interesting thread! I've been quilting only for about 8 months so I have so much to learn; but I guess getting more confident with color & print would be top of my list. I'm all hung up on analogous color schemes or a color plus a neutral. It would be good to be more comfortable with combining colors.

This is an excellent question. Hmmm I know my personal challenge myself quilt this year will be a Bargello. Now a skill I'd like to work on.....I will go with making panel quilts fun for myself. I have a bunch of panels but my mind goes blank sometimes for days when working with them. I love them and the look I get when the quilt is done. However I spend a lot of time frog stitching to get what I want.

I would like to get better at FMQ. Maybe even purchase a long arm machine!

I learned to hand quilt over 25 years ago and only tried machine quilting in 2014. I want to get good at all machine quilting. My big goal though is patience in the process. The other thread about being process or completion oriented really has me thinking about how impatient I get and that the rushing makes the quality of my work decrease. I don't have any UFOs, but I have things that aren't what I wanted when I started.

Throw me in with the FMQ group. I have started to learn, but really need to improve. I am still jerky with my movements. I have done several practice squares, and am in the middle of FM quilting a lap quilt right now. I can tell I am improving, but I'm not near where I want to be yet. My focus this year will be on finishing up UFO's and improving FMQ. Happy New Year and good luck to everyone on their plans.
