I've got a finish

My Terrain quilt is finished!  I'm happy to have it done.  The bright colors just remind me of spring and I think it will get a lot of use.



I used one Terrain Charm pack parts of 3 fat quarters and some scraps of white and a whole lot of Kona snow to complete the top and back.  The binding was a fat quarter and some scraps of the Kona snow that I had laying around.

For the quilting I did a meandering free motion design and use some Aurifil thread.  It was amazing in my machine. I had no tension issues and there are no stitches on the back that are 'pulling' like I get when I use thread that I pick up at Jo-anns.

I did not quilt through the 'butterflies', and after washing it, I'm glad I did not.  I absolutely love how it looks.






I have lots of laundry to put away today, but if I get time I plan on starting on some summer dresses for my daughter and I need to whip up another baby quilt.  The little guy was born over the weekend so I need to get myself in gear.  Have a great day.
