The design is all my own and I'm pretty pleased with the result.
The butterfly and binding fabrics were some of my loot recieved in the Pink Themed EB Newbies Quilters FQ swap for July.
The Backing is from Sandi Henderson's Farmers' Market Range.
It was basically a chance for me to have a go at different machine quilting techniques with my new machine which is fabulous.
I used the great Heather Bailey binding tutorial as recommneded by the EB quilting girls and I learnt lots of things including the fact that you need to add at least 10cm per corner plus an extra 10cm for the join when calculating the length of your binding (you'll notice my binding changes colour part way around).

I really enjoyed doing it, next time I will do a pieced one.
Now I must get on with the things I'm really supposed to be doing...
It looks stunning! You should have signed up for the EB swap, you would have fitted right in. :) Next time!
Wow that's great, you should have joined the swap
OH WOW! That is stunning!
If mine looks 1/2 as good as yours for the swap I will be pleasantly suprised...
Your quilt looks fabulous - I'm very impressed with the quilting too :)
Your quilt looks gorgeous - can you please tell me what the name of the "love" fabric is?

Oh you're all so nice, makes a girl feel all warm inside...
Sue, the 'love' fabric is one I picked up in Spotlight. I have more so let me know if you can't track it down and I'll send you a bit if you would like.
