My church's Fall fundraiser/auction was last weekend, and I donated this quilt (which I had finally finished the week before!) I pieced this quilt top in
July 2012, but I didn't get around to basting, quilting, and binding it until this Fall. I liked the fabrics a lot when I bought them as a bundle, but I don't think they work very well together. There's not enough value contrast. Also, it's a LOT of pink.
I am really proud of the free-motion machine quilting I did on it, though! I used an idea from Leah Day's site:
Quilt Busting Flower Power. I quilted five large flowers and then filled in the rest of the quilt with a loopy meander. I think it turned out beautifully!
I'm glad to be finished with another project, and glad to have improved my fmq skills!
