I’m starting work on one for Independence Day.  It’s a bit of a challenge on my smaller machine, but still doable. I have to use a smaller hoop and reposition the fabric at some point,

Hi Sara. I was watching some free motion quilting tutorials today. It's something I would like to try in the future, but I am far from that stage at the moment. I have a lot to learn.

I really wanted to say how lovely your designs are and I can definitely see your progression.

@Penabby thank you.  It does take some practice as well as some trial-and-error. Of course it’s best to experiment on scrap fabric ALOT before doing work you care about.  A great way to try free-motion quilting is to make some little mug rugs as starter projects.

Here is my latest design.
