This one is mine. The flimsy is posted here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t206906.html
I did a lot of experimentation on this one. The batting is a goodwill wool blanket my DH picked up for like $3. Then I put a layer of hobbs polydown on top of that to give the quilting definition. This one is definitely gonna be warm! It is quilted entirely with Invisifil thread a 100 wt polyester thread that handles like silk. Freehand and ruler work, golden threads paper were the techniques I used. I had a hard time narrowing down what pictures to share. Quilted on my Innova longarm.
The whole quilt and some selected block closeups.

Another tattoo. If I did this over I would leave the gecko unquilted and do heavy background fill to get him to pop up off the surface.

Dragonflies and microstippling

And a couple of gratuitous back shots.

As always I eagerly anticipate your comments. Even if you don't like I want to hear because then I can better cater my quilting to other tastes.
