I finally got round to quilting my Quilt-Along quilt last week, and I had loads of fun doing it because I didn't do the usual stipple or loopy quilting. I decided to practice my freehand free motion quilting and just make it up as I go.
The back's super colourful too... I just used scraps and extra blocks I'd made to piece a fun backing. Looks a little split personality but I love it!
I really love this quilt. I intended to give it away but that's proving difficult. And upon seeing it finished, the hubs insisted that we use this one, so it's definitely not going anywhere :)

Hurray for a split personality :)
It looks great - and so cool all the individual free motion work!
That quilt came out great! I LOVE the pieced back, very cool.
Really nice work!
The scraps on the back look awesome! I have one to make with scraps and I like how you used so many in the back. Very pretty!
i absolutely love it! i wouldn't be able to part with it either. keep it!!!
It looks fabulous! Congratulations on finishing it. Mine is waiting patiently for Christmas and our summer hoiday to be finished before I start cutting out the extra blocks to make it bigger. i also went through the stash and have earmarked backing fabrics. I think mine will be split personality too.
That's beautiful! I love the free motion quilting that varies from block to block.
your quilt is lovely!
I am a bit late to join the party but I really want to use this quilt-a-long to make my Mum a quilt for her 60th Birthday.
However, I know you used scraps/stashed fabrics, but you also mention providing yardage amounts but I cannot find them anywhere on your blog... Would you have them at all??? I would just need a rough idea as I dont have a big stash to pull from.
Hi Audrie, we love this quilt and tutorial series so much we have featured it at Craft Chronicles http://www.craft-chronicles.com/
Are you planning any quilting over the Easter weekend?
