Today I finished sewing down the last bit of binding (black dots by Suzuko Koseki) on my On A Whim quilt for the quilt along. Wow, I really am in love with this quilt! It feels so good to be able to use Flea Market Fancy fabrics liberally. I used the grey seeds on the front as the background fabric and blue posies for the backing. Now I don't feel so bad about my recent FMF purchase because I've already used about half of it up! I'm also having fun using my favorite Japanese fabrics--mostly by Suzuko Koseki and Kumiko Fujita... I told you I love that daisy fabric!
I quilted this quilt using an all over pattern called "Simple Feathers" by Anne Bright. Her patterns are my favorite and what I choose to use primarily. I thought this was a great pattern and will use it again in future--I tend to look for designs that distribute the stitching evenly. I'm not a fan of certain areas of a quilt being heavily quilted and other areas being scantily quilted.
Ok, now I think I might try making the next quilt in the quilt along...
