My ALYoF July finish

I finished up my very own mini quilt in the flurry of sewing I did this past weekend. Here is my beauty!

SP Mini

I decided to try out a ton of different free motion quilting ideas on each block.

SP Bk 1

I think most of it turned into thread play.
Oh look a bird.
And a flower!

SP Bk 2

I'm soooo happy!

SP Bk 3


 And something about the crazy combination makes me smile.

SP Bk 4

Even the back makes me happy!

SP Back

This is called 'Radioactive Love' . . all mine!
It's hanging above the light switch in the bedroom.  I'm just so thrilled with everything about this!

    its so much fun to play with free motion quilting, all the changes in a block or a quilt. two of my favorite ways to play now that i'm a 'grownup' .. fabric and free motion. i like your blocks too, your background pieces are really fun.
