This quilt is done, and ready for spit up.
In hind sight, there are few things I'd have done different with this quilt. I probably wouldn't have used the printable fabric, because it's so stiff. And I would have used a better piece of fabric for the quilt top. If you can't tell, it is pink, but it is way too light and washed out, so it looks like an ugly white plus it wasn't the best quality of fabric, I realized this after I had already started and that was too late. It would have killed my momentum to stop and get a different cut of fabric.
Ever see a cute picture of adorable kids feet on a beautiful quilt...This is my version.
I quilted the whole thing with an organic asymmetrical design and all the corners are different, this is one of them.
After I had quilted the whole thing, I decided that it needed something more, so I added all the pink and brown dots. My son asked what they were and I told him they were eggs, for strawberry eating dragons. He then pointed out that it looked like the dragon had a strawberry body. "Well," I said, "you are what you eat."

grrrr...what is the point of blogger having a "preview" of your post before you post it if it doesn't look the same after you post it!!!
you are so cool
I bet you could make some sweet archery targets.
That was a nice little post. I love the adorable kid feet on the quilt.
AWESOME quilt! It is really hard to let kids spit up on your masterpieces. I love the colors and the dots (eggs) and I love the little filthy toes!
Organic floral designs are all the rave in my city~!
