Quilting in progress

I have been working on quilting the Around the World Quilt.  This is done via free-motion quilting on my sewing machine, not on a long-arm machine.  I do it myself.  I always have trouble deciding how to quilt the quilts, but this one just seemed to naturally call for circles.  My brain saw circles right away, and since it's "A-Round" the World quilt, it's a perfect fit!  It's really easy to do, too, although some of my circles are a little wobbly.  I'm getting better at this free motion stuff, and not so leary of it either.  I have learned that a little faster is better than little slower.  Going to slow gives me too big of stitches.  I am finding a very comfortable speed for my movements with the quilt.  Practice makes perfect!   (If you click on the pictures, you can see a enlarged photo of it.)
