Quilted it with stitch-in-the-ditch through out and some circles on the wheels. It would be nice to add some more details in the borders when my quilting improves.

More strawberries and cherries on the back along side Martha Negley’s ribbons and Kaffe's floral stripes.

…spotted these cute ladybugs crawling onto the quilt as I laid it on the grass for a couple of clicks (: u :)

Each little scrap holds so many memories and it is so good to see them all huddled together in one place.

~Purple rose fabric is from a small shop in Delhi.
~It measures 67" x 78".


Thank you Stephanie, for this very fun challenge and constant motivation through your lovely posts to keep us going. It's also been quite enjoyable to see the prettiest projects appearing from time to time. And I'm happy that my scraps have whittled down to a small spinach box now.

Hope your summer days are filled with cute ladybugs and fluttering butterflies ( ‘ v ‘ )

So, so lovely, Pratima! How I love this quilt. It must be such a satisfaction - making something beautiful knowing left over fabrics are at their best use:) There's something about circles...

You must be so pleased, Pratima, to have created such a beautiful quilt. The wheel blocks are gorgeous, and I love the way you incorporated the larger border pieces so you can really see the details in those pretty prints

Lovely, Pratima! It looks like you have a great mix of different fabrics in this quilt. I am sure you can sit and admire it for hours, finding new details to look at. This is the best kind of quilts, I think! It would be lovely to see a few close-ups of the pretty circles?
