I made this quilt for my friend Franki, who is having a baby next month: "Mia."
She wanted Pink and Green, so I dug through my pinnk and green scraps. The piecing for the front and back I kept relatively simple, but I went crazy with the quilting. my favorite part ;c)
Here is the front and back before sandwiching.
I divided the quilt up in diamonds and wanted a 1/2' puffy line between each quilting motif. In the above photo I had just finished the trapunto for Mia's name, the pebbling in the 1st section, and half the feathers in the 2nd section.
Here I had just finished all the quilting.
Before trimming and binding.

andddd. . front and back finished!
All of the quilting was done with NEW Aurifil polyester longarm thread. The pastel variegated thread looked perfect against the pink and green fabrics. . . used in the top AND bobbin.
