Default Another one

The original one is for my dad and I made this one for my Mom. I didn't use any of the purple animal print fabric in his, and I used a LOT in hers!!

I got some rayon variegated thread and I wanted to try it out. I'm breakin' all the rulz! The quilt is still stabilized with polyester thread, so I think it will be ok. She won't wash it much anyway! I wanted to do some different quilting with it too, so I filled in the flowers on the big squares. I did a little flower on the small squares and didn't do anything on the rectangles. I was disappointed in how the variegated looked on different prints (looks good on the solids!) and so I skipped the sashings. I still need to square it up and bind it and wash it.

Enjoy!
