I'm not sure if you can see the free motion quilting that is on the black part. It's loops of a sort, I recently discovered some awesome stencils from Jo-Ann's Fabric, this is my first time using them on a quilt. If I free motion I always just practice my shape and go for it, but that doesn't always work out. My freehand drawing isn't so good, especially for certain shapes and I love that I could just stencil these on with a chalk pencil and just follow that. Came out great that way.
Here's a picture of the backing. Music notes were all over the place which made piecing the backing super easy. Can't even tell where it was put together. Love that. (Notice my babies enjoying the quilt and giving it some cuddles and love before its boxed up for it to make its way to a wedding in June. Finished in plenty of time to say phew...)
I straight line stitched the border for effect and practicality and used black thread on the pink fabric and used pink thread on the black parts to coordinate it all.
I also finished a small crib quilt for my soon to be niece that is due in August for my brother-in-law. So glad both gifts are done. Means I can work on my million other projects in mind.. always thinking...
My favorite thing to free motion is swirls because i love the end result and its one of the few designs I'm fairly good at, (compared to other shapes I've tried!) I have a pastel jelly roll so i paired that with a pretty floral charm pack I had and then this window type quilt was born! Very girly for the new soon-to-be niece! Thanks for stopping by! More projects to post soon....
