I'm afraid I'm not one of those ladies who works on four or five different projects in one day. I'm doing good if I work on one a week. I might take time out on one to start another that has a quicker deadline, but only focus on that till it is done. I had to totally stop thinking about the Ann. Quilt til I finished this little one. This is a discipline I have to force on myself, or deadlines come and go and I am playing around with the wrong quilt. I'm not saying my BRAIN isn't busy on many, many other ideas. Just my fingers must stick to one job at a time!!!
Soooo... here is the finished project for ALQS...
Here is a close shot of the 3-D flowers...
And my first try at mitered corners...
The view is not the best for the corner, but shows the 3-D butterfly up close.
Tried a lot of lessons recently learned in this project. Those mitered corners, the 'petal play' for 3-D effects, free motion embroidery, scenic layout, machine applique.
Now I've gotta let Kate know it's done, and get it out in the mail to...????

Sorry Andrea.......it came to me and I LOVE it. Thank you so much.
This is my first on-line swap and I enjoyed making and receiving. This one came ready to hang with sticks in the back.
It came with some little squares of fun fabrics, too - thanks for those.
