Design Wall Monday - No clever title this week sorry.

Just a few things going on. 

The first quarter (upper left) of the wedding quilt is done.  It's pretty chaotic, but I like that it tells a story only two of us know to completion.  I've decided to get it professionally quilted, when the time comes.  I really want it to turn out nicely, and I'm just not sure I can make that happen on a quilt so big (96x96 finished, in theory) on my machine (not to mention skill level). 

 I finished the pink lovey, then found a flaw I didn't like, so I hid it with some appliqued hearts.  Can't say I'm a fan of how they look now, but whatever...it's done. 
 I like it overall, just not really a fan of any of the parts that took real skill lol.
It's listed in my shop for $10 because I know it looks kind of amateurish, but I needed to practice somehow.

Detours

I got one more block done for the wedding quilt last night.  As much as I'm enjoying putting this together though, I needed a quick fix...I needed to put something together that would be done withing a couple hours tops.  It's not quite done, but it can be tonight if I make it so.

 Pink pinwheels lovey!
The backing is fleece leftover from my mom's quilt eons ago.  The quilting is practice...I'm not terribly good at free motion, as you can see (actually it looks ok if you squint). Mostly this is just practice.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it...either throw it up on Etsy or put it in the package with the QFK quilts I'm hoping will come any day now.

I wasn't sure if pink and black would be too dark or not, but I think I like it.  It's a little edgier than pink and, say, brown would've been.  I could see this working for a young tomboy.
