A finished project!! I finally finished Ping's Yellow Brick Road Quilt. This was supposed to be her Christmas present, then it turned into her birthday present, and now it is her housewarming gift. We're helping her move into her new house (!!) tomorrow, so I finished it just in time.
The fabrics are from Amy Butler's Belle line, and I really do like them.
I quilted random patterns all over. I'm not sure if I'd ever do this again, because it took a ton of time and a ton of thread.
My favorite part of the quilt:
I quilted Ping's Chinese name using Pink Chalk Studio's freezer paper technique. It doesn't show up very well because of the pattern of the fabric, but I like it anyway. Here is the original image.
I found out that I love machine quilting, but I absolutely hate squaring up quilts. I'm so bad at it! The sides never match up and I'm usually an inch off on one side as compared to the other. Any hints?

I came over to see your ripple - great! and then decided to stay. This quilt is great! I love the kanji - great idea and one that I might rip-off er borrow from you some time.
Yeah, I bet that this quilting took a lot of time -- it's great! I haven't graduated to this much detail yet....
