American Flag (close) throw /laptop

[Yanna]

Oldest grandson claimed this one when he saw me working on it. Haven't decided how I will quilt it yet but it will be straight line quilting. :>) I tried again to FMQ and failed terrible. I don't think I was meant to be a FMQer. LOL

Very pretty. It is graphic with wonderful lines. Please don't give up on FMQ. I wasn't a quick learner either, but I kept practicing and somewhere around 40 hours of practice I gradually started to improve. Try practicing on smaller pieces until you can coordinate the speed of your hand movements with the speed of the foot petal controlling the machine. And invest in a Sew Slip (or Supreme Slider) and Machinger gloves.

It's really cool! Do some walking foot quilting, it looks just as nice.

I like that a lot.

I think this would look nice with walking foot quilting. It looks like waves, Just ignore the fabric. lol.

Such a nice quilt - no wonder your son claimed it quickly, Yanna. I love Lorie's wave quilting suggestion. Seems perfect!
I feel your pain with regard to FMQ. I've had no luck yet either and it gets kind of discouraging so that you don't always feel like trying again.

This is a beautiful quilt. I will give the wavy lines a try. Thanks.

You are so right. It gets a little depressing. I'll wait a while before trying again. LOL
