It's far from flawless and there was actually only room for one minion. But my son (2.5 years) loves it and wants to have it in his bed. I'd say that's a success!
I did a combination of both quilt as you go and quilting on a frame. My freehand quilting can still improve. But it's getting better every time I practice. Stippled like a maniac in the squares but it hardly shows up in the picture. Did it in a darker thread than the embroideries. The backside has a very cute fabric with the theme Noah's Ark.
I must have lost my marbles, who else would piece a 1/2" sashing? Feel a bit proud about my very own design anyway.
