Butterflies and Vines


I finished this quilt today, and am so very pleased about it, having
started it over 2 years ago. :) I gave it to Mum, because she loves butterflies. This is the first free-motion quilting I've done, and I'm not doing too badly with it, really. More practice will improve me I'm sure.



I hid the occasional heart in the quilting, but mostly it was leaves throughout. Plus a "for Mum" and "love hope".

I love the back fabric :

Hope, your quilt is so bright and cheery! You've done well with the quilting...it is a difficult technique to master. It always feels good to knock over a UFO...a great start to the New Year for you! Happy 2011 to you and Martin xxx
