I took a giant leap of faith (I sort-of forced myself to the edge so that it was the only thing I could do if I was going to keep my word, and I believe in keeping your word!!) and tried some machine quilting this weekend!
I didn't try anything crazy-just basic straight lines-or at least somewhat straight!!
I am pleased with the outcome so far, I was able to get a good amount accomplished (I also tried a new binding by doing it pillowcase style and sewing the backing to the front and batting before quilting. I think I really like this!!)

I finished one altogether 
and I cut out backing and batting for three more. One of them I did the binding process and it is ready to quilt, 
and I started quilting a second one. 
I hope to work on it more tonight! (The quilt needs to be mailed out ASAP-it is due for Craft Hope by the 15th I believe!!) Two of the other ones I worked on this weekend are for the Downy Quilts for Kids project and so that is why I had to learn how to machine quilt!! (They have to be machine quilted to hold up with all the washing they go through.)
I am excited to learn more and get more comfortable with this process so that I can hopefully actually finish the 10 WIP's (or UFO's) that I signed up to try to finish before the end of the year!
The only issue is that I also have some other projects I need to start in the meantime!!
I will be keeping very busy!!

You are so talented! I still have a 3/4 finished quilt in my basement. Now that I have a machine I should get it out and try this way! :)
