Default April challenge

My April challenge is done.

I struggled to motivate myself to get going on this one. The color palette was outside my normal. I usually work with more saturated color, so I kept it small.

I didn't have a plan. After I got started I decided to try different things on it. The center flower is stitch and flip. I remember seeing this in a quilt magazine. I drew the geese and PP them. The curvy quilting lines on the blue were supposed to turn into curved crosshatching. I drew lines one way, stitched them and stared at it for a day. Couldn't figure out how/where to add the 2nd set of lines to make the crosshatch without it taking over the piece.

The space where the runner will live, didn't allow putting geese on the ends, so it's not symmetrical. I was running out of fabric, so the binding is single fold. So it is what it is and it's finished! I'm ready for the May challenge.
