Well here is a few pics of my twin size Charlie Brown Christmas quilt. I used an assortment of Charlie Brown fabrics from Quilting Treasures. I saw a lap quilt made from this fabric at a quilt shop in Annapolis, MD Cottonseed Glory. This was made using the pattern Yellow Brick Road and measures 66" X 93". I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to FMQ this size quilt on my Elna Excellence. I am now hooked on FMQ!

Never thought about using it, and now I will. I did not care for it as it was in blues and yellows. This beginning quilter thought you HAD to use those colors when I first started. Duh. I like the FMQ you did. What machine did you piece and quilt this on? ------ Quilting is relaxing to me. I love to play with fabrics, patterns and colors.

This is the first time I used it but will definitely make another quilt with it. I did all my peicing and FMQ on the Elna Excellence 740 and since it has a built in dual feed it is perfect for piecing. It also has an 11 inch harp which made it much easier to FMQ a quilt this size. ------ Elna Excellence 740, Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0, Janome 300E, Brother 8500D, Janome 900CPX CoverPro, Brother 5234 Project Runway Serger, Singer Treadle http://juliannasjourney.blogspot.com/
