This is a small quilt that was a BOM, called "Flowers," from Diana in 2010. I did not want to hand quilt it since it has so many seams.
One of my excuses for not working on it sooner was that I didn't have a walking foot before. I just purchased one after Christmas. I wanted to machine quilt this and a few other tops that I have.
The quilt is a combination of piecing and embroidery.
These are the threads I am using. The yellow on top and the pale green polyester in the bobbin. The floral is the backing fabric. It's polyester/cotton and looks a paler green in this photo.
Now go check out the link above. It may give you some inspiration.

I know that BOm, it's so cute. You used nice fabrics.
Lovely quilt , such soft pretty colors and I like the addition of embroidery in a quilt :-)
Cool quilt. Also, I love the rich greens in your new header.
So many pieces! and love the embroidery! Where is the photo taken, at the top of your blog -- I seem to remember being there but well, one mountain looks pretty much the same as the next one... hahaha...
Lovely quilt! It makes me miss the Spring...
What a lovely quilt - and perfect thread choices! I wouldn't be without my walking foot - even use it for piecing, to keep the pieces from 'slipping'.
it is so very pretty! It looks really cosy too...
