Default Simple Bargello Footsteps in the Sand quilt for my daughter's 30th birthday

I just finished a quilt to give my daughter for her 30th birthday. She has really developed into a beautiful person and has deepened her relationship with Jesus. I thought this quilt would be a perfect reminder for her as a young working mom, that Jesus is always there for her.

The wave border was sort of an experiment. I didn't want to leave it plain and I'm not an experienced FMQer yet. I went online and found a wave border design. I made a drawing and a stencil. Then stenciled it to the quilt. It turned out pretty good for my 1st attempt at FMQing.

I knew my daughter would like anything I gave her so I wasn't as intimidated by it as I thought I'd be. After a while it was kinda fun. Wasn't working on a flat surface, just using my 301A and a FMQ foot. No silicone mat, FMQ gloves, halo or all the other stuff to do a really professional job, but I think she will like it anyway.
