I started laying out this quilt in January...
...of 2015. It went through half a dozen or so layouts before I landed on one that stayed on the wall long enough for me to piece it. I began the free motion quilting on the cross and had to set it aside for bag making...
Two weeks ago, while waiting for my machine to come back, and after lots of hours of doodling in black and white, I took it in to the shop with me and started free motioning on the HQ Sweet 16. Then went back in another afternoon. Then it sat for a week almost begging to just be finished while all the back to school and Christian family day event. Tonight was the night to finish, after giving my kiddo her first driving lesson, and in between watching America medal in diving.
A ton of free motion quilty texture. And hidden words of encouragement quilted in as well. Fun to look at from the front and back and only making its backing and hanging pieces.
