Not sure that is the correct name I want to give this quilt but it is how I am feeling. I have lots of flaws, lessons learned, and techniques tried though. There is also a bit of blood, sweat and tears but I am choosing to have 'Satisfaction' playing in my head right now. Skillbuilder QAYG BOM QAL is done. Started in 2013 and finished 3/28/14...yeah me! My picture is not great as usual but there really was some blood involved in making this quilt. I snagged a pin through the skin on the tip of my thumb while putting the binding on.

I think my goal should be to bite the bullet and get this quilted. Since it is a scrap quilt there should be nothing to be afraid of and I should try some fun freemotion quilting on it! Okay I will give it a go. The month is already flying by so I better get on the stick! Suggestions welcome....

Since it is a sampler kind of quilt, I would likely mix of straight stitching (walking foot) with a bunch of different free-motion quilting designs. I think it would be fun to fill the sections with the strips with a different free motion pattern in each strip.
Whatever you decide to do, it's going to be lovely. What a great scrap quilt!
Good luck with the quilting!
i'm completely in love with your style and color choices. really fantastic!
