Quilty Quarters

This quilt is full of liberated piecing, no doubt about that. The fabric choice and the colour placement was very carefully planned... The free motion quilting was very carefully planned, the thread colour was carefully planned too...
BUT... as usual, I was struck with the urge to "Please My Self"... good old PMS!!! I decided to play with free motion quilting, only to use red thread and to 'go for it'... Free Motion Ditch Hopping... wooohooo. Random squiggles going 'outside the lines' wooohooo. Wonky flowery things, square spirals, wonky straight lines galore, woooohoooo!! I've stopped to take a breath now. Walking foot is on and I'm taking great care to stitch 'in the ditch' on both seams of the tiny purple inner border... that leaves only the borders... Hmmm... wonder what I will do with the borders....

I can see bits of the quilting in the photo and it certainly looks like you are enjoying it. Will it be ready for Thursday's Show and Tl???
