    Take 5 - FMQ experiment - disaster averted

    I posted recently about the sad story of this quilt and a cat.
    http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t191032.html

    Sigh.

    But it's now finished and we will never tell my friend who is getting this for her birthday!

    Pattern: Take 5
    Size: 64" X 76"
    Backing: from Jo-ann's.
    Binding: pulled from back
    Quilting: My primitive version of FMQ - this time I did a different motive in each piece - a block had small squares, a rectangle, and a large square. I did daisies and loop-de-doops in the large squares, hearts in the small squares, and leaves on a vine in the rectangles. Had green thread on the top and pink in the bobbin.

    To FMQ: first I scallop near the ditch around each block. THen I FMQ each block separately - starting with the outside blocks. Works for me for now!

    I love, love, love this quilt! The pattern (which I have & have yet to make... grrrrr!), the colors/fabrics (yummy!) & the quilting... the whole thing just *works*. Kudos on bringing this little baby around to your way of thinking... LOL!

    Your quilt came out beautiful! I absolutely love the feminine touch the color pallet has given the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
    The bad news is - time flies.
    The good news is - you're the pilot!

    The fabrics are not one line. The pink swirl and the green border are from my LQS. The other three fabrics are from Fabriccafe.com. They are a bundle of 3 one-yard cuts.
    Darker pink: spendid hues - danhui nai licensed to wilmington prints
    pink/green print: nature's chorus by April Cornell for Moda Pattern #35102
    Pink swirl: fabrics.com pattern #16057 Hunky Dory
    The selveges I have for the greens don't have identifying info.
    So many quilts, so little time.
