Your leaf pattern on each triangle really sets the colors off. Glad you let the quilt speak to you. She will love to show it off.

I want to make a quilt like this with my scraps. Your "coordinated" one is lovely, and I love the decorative stitch you used for the quilting. Bet she's crazy about it!

I think most walking feet are designed for forward stitching only. This may by why you had a problem. Have you tried the fancing stitching on a quilt without the walking foot?

That is indeed a beautiful quilt. I love that simple pattern, I made one using it for a good friend of mine out of Civil War fabrics and he really liked it. I'm sure Olivia loves hers as well. Thanks for sharing it with us! :D
