Big stitch - first attempt

Well here it is. This is my second block. The first one was just straight lines and the stitches were hard to see in the photo. The stitches in the center of this one don't show up very well either but you can certainly see the brown area. I used a chalk pencil to make my arcs. Couldn't get that rocking motion going so it's pretty much stab stitching in some areas. I'm blaming the Warm n Natural batting as someone here said it would make things difficult. Not sure if my stitches are spaced correctly, but I am happy with the result (kinda blurry, sorry):

Comment by Kathleen Kingsbury on August 11, 2015 at 5:37pm: Thank you everyone!! I'm still working away on this project. I have four blocks done already (at least done enough for now; will probably add a few more stitches to some) and am working on the fifth. I have Little Quilts and Gifty projects I should be working on but can't seem to stop on this one! There are 20 blocks in the quilt. As long as I can come up with designs, I will continue. I'll let it sit again once I run out of creativity!!

Here's one I just finished today:
