Currently my favorite....

i showed this pic within the last week or so.....

a quilt that i had been quilting myself.

i didn't put the yummy fabrics together. it was a kit that i got from........ i can't remember where. anyways, it was a kit & i had sewed up the top over a year ago at a quilt camp & put it in my tub of tops to be quilted thinking at the time that i would send it out to be quilted.
over this past year or so i have learned more about machine quilting & i am starting to enjoy it more & more. so, i decided to tackle this quilt myself. once i got it all basted i fell in love with it all over again. its totally me.

sorry for the bad pics, i was pushing it to get outside before it got to dark.

i shadow quilted the petals & then replicated the petals in the smaller plain blocks as well as the final boarder. i used a decorative stitch in the striped boarder using a variegated green thread in the light green areas.

by no means is it perfect but quilting is a learning process & i am loving it. i am pushing myself out of my comfort zone & i think i am getting a little better with every quilt.

i pieced the back with all of the scraps & its like i have a separate quilt. i love the back as well.

i really love this quilt. i know i already said it but its true. its currently my favorite quilt & will more then likely hold that spot for awhile. maybe forever.
