The fabrics were chosen based on how my co-worker is decorating the nursery, which is a woodland theme with accents of coral/pink due to the gender of her baby. The fabrics came from all over the place, mostly from Easy, but some did come from my local quilt shops. I threw in some Bambi fabric also, because who does not love Disney?
I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. The backing I was able to find complimented the quilt, and I am extremely proud of my quilting. The dark green, is perfect for the binding as it gives it a nice frame around the quilt.
The quilting was done by me on the LQS's long arm that I have the opportunity to rent time on. I had not free motioned for a while, but it was like riding a horse. The hardest part after waiting so long was getting it loaded on the machine properly. I did a simple swirl flower all over the quilt, with the occasional loop thrown in.
This finish is #40 on my Quarter 1 Finish A-Long list, and my first finish for the year! It feels great to have completed something.
