I finished this one about two weeks ago. I used a Japanese cherry blossom print for the back. And used scraps from my first quilt for the binding. Everything was done on my lovely Bernina, even the binding. I tried hand-stitching the binding, but I almost started crying from frustrationg after about 10 minutes. So machine-quilt I did, and I am happy with the results.
Here is a close up of the free-motion quilting. Second time doing it. And not only is it getting easier, but i'm learning to make bigger "loops" so that it doesn't take me 3 days like it did the first time.
This quilt doesn't have a name. So, the person who comes up with the coolest name will get a little taiwan-inspired package from me. It might have fabric. It might have paper. It might even have some prints with chinese characters all over it. I haven't decided. Let the games begin!
Sneak peeks of quilt #4 coming soon. If you like pink, you will like the new one.
It's beautiful! I love all the colors and the backing fabric is pretty. I think she looks like a Josie. Something girly but not too girly. :) Awesome job.

you should name her "serendipity" because it's a fun word and she's a lovely blankie!

Wow that is gorgeous! I love it! I wish you were here to guide me on my free motion. I think you should name her Lure because she is so beautiful and her enticing ways make you want to just curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and a good book.

the first name I thought of when I saw it was Collette.
not sure why, but that's what spoke to me. and I think it would look perfect all wrapped around a little baby too....wink wink ;)
