My wonderful partner received my DQ, she isn't able to take a pic so I will post one for her 
I had never done crazy quilting before, and after seeing what has been posted so far I'm not sure I did it this time either, LOL. We will call it crazy quilt inspired
This was also my first time playing with the big stitch quilting (I used pearl cotton). The applique I wanted a little "fatter"so I quilted 3 layers (top, batting and backing), left the edge raw and hand appliqued to the top just inside of the edge. I used organza ribbon for the binding, I sat with the quilt for a while unbound because I couldn't decide what kind of binding it needed, then I found that ribbon while going through a sewing box! I really did have a lot of fun playing with new ideas and techniques!

OMG! That is so gorgeous! I am loving all the sneek peeks and full shots! With each one, I think I have to do something like that! All I can say is WOW! I hope mine is liked half as much, I would be pleased. This is such great fun, and I am really enjoying all my new friends.
