This little quilt was made for a friend who loves pink, so we started off with lots of yummy bright pinks, sitting on a Jacobean looking black and white background......and a punch you in the eye black and white centre!
Next up a mini border with a mini dot...
After which the pinks needed to come back, mixed up with more black and white and surrounding the centre twice.
Then adding to the fun with some freemotion, circular quilting over the centre in black thread (a little wonky yes!)...
...and some zig zag quiltyness on the dresden petals in pink thread...
All finished off with a nice fat binding.
Here it is languishing in the sun under the shadow of my clothesline!
I do apologise for the amount of pink in this post, and I thank Lynne for being so kind to allow me to take over her blog for one post (I promise I will give it back now)! For my next project I just have to try making Lynne's Big Little George, what a stunner! xo

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts for adding each step.
I LOVE IT.
Pink is good, and all that 'extra' border is superb, why oh why was I not bright enough to think of that!!! Beautiful!
I *love* the zig zaggy quilting in the dresden blades - I am inspired for quilting my own from Lynne's QAL. THANK YOU!!
Gorgeous! Love that 'Prince Charming' fabric, and all the Kaffe. And I love everything Cathy does!
Oh, it's beautiful! Free motion spirals are really difficult to do, so woohoo and a well-done on that centre!!! The zigs in the petals are a fabulous idea. I just love all that pink!
I love the colors and the pop in the center of the black and white.
I love it Cathy! I don't know how you manage to finish so many wonderful things in so little time. Every time I turn around there's another beauty!
Wonderful! Love the bits of grey and black and white with the pinks! Great design!
Another stunner Cathy!!
