FMQ April Challenge

I loved this transfer method. 
Since I don't have an artistic bone in my body, I love quilting on the lines, and I feel like this is what I can really do more so that the FMQ with no lines.
People had mentioned that there was backtracking on the pattern in the tutorial so I went back to what I had done and backtracked on the leaves.
I did okay.  I can tell that I am better than when I first tried a few months ago but I still have lots of room for improvement.  But I do feel like I am ready to try something on a real quilt. 
The tree and grass were the quilting on the transferred lines.  The stippling, tree trunk and sky were for practice . Better but still need more practice.  I will use this method of tracing again.  It will be very handy for hand quilting also.
