Swirls and Loops

Finally got the courage to start quilting SuperStar....

...and already am having second thoughts about not sending it out to longarmer!

I quilted swirls inside each star with variegated thread.

The quilting shows up more in some stars than in others.

I started quilting loops in the negative background space with neutral thread.  I didn't get too far (but far enough) before realizing my tension on the back was all wrong...these stitches will have to come out!  Ugh!!!  I'm determined that I will one day love FMQ....but this is not that day!

Have an amazing Monday!
