Had to have it and as luck had it knew exactly who this should be gifted to.
Kept the quilt simple, using the panel in the series and surrounded it with 'dancing squares' in the outer border. Had seen this technique in the lecture with Ricky Tims that I attended during the Australian Machine Quilting Festival and thought that this just hit the mark. Easy to do and adding that playful element. Had just enough green fabric to finish off the border and then ended up buying some very cute backing fabric from the same fabric line.
Went a bit organic with the quilting as I did not feel like a calm meander or a simple loopy design. Felt like something a bit more involved and different. Baptist Fans would have looked nice, but after having done them for months on my last quilt really needed something new. Decided on a mix of swirls and paisley.
Very happy with the result.
