In my original post http://shevvylondon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/finish-long-q1.html I showed all my outstanding tops in an attempt to get focused.
Foolish I know. I managed to get sucked into the scrappy-trip-along craze and added not one but two new tops to the UFO pile. Then work and life got very busy and sewing went on the back burner.
I finished quilting this top about 6 weeks ago but needed this final push to get the binding on. Its basically a Free Motion Quilting sampler with a few pops of feature fabric.
I wanted to play and doodle with my quilting and practise new designs as well as ones I am already comfortable with. I really really enjoyed making it.
I didn't do any marking apart from using straight line quilting to create bands to work the designs in. Again, that might be clearer when I get better photos.
The flower in the feathers in the last picture is my favourite bit.
