It worked for me! I was so close to finishing, but the quilt was drifting to the UFO pile, just because I kept thinking it was almost finished but didn't pick it up to do the last bit of quilting. I tried out my new free-motion quilting foot and really liked it. I have a Brother sewing machine and this is a Janome foot, but it worked great. I decided to try to quilt each section with a different pattern and that was lots of fun.When the quilting was done I cut an uneven edge, just cutting around the quilt with my rotary cutter - first time ever that I didn't use a ruler to cut an edge, and I was happy with how that turned out. I made a two colour binding using batiks since I couldn't find the leftover hand dyed fabrics.
I loved working with these hand dyed fabrics that were in our kits and the curves technique was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

Way cool!
Oh man that is so cool....good job!
Very pretty! Aren't you glad you finished it?
Lovely quilting... glad you finished it.
You did a great job on the quilting -- all the textures play well together too. The uneven edge adds even more interest.
That is awesome, love the quilting. I did the sky, land and sea pattern that I found several years ago when visiting my sister in Canada. I handquilted most of it, but still have a bit left to do. It is hanging where I see it all the time, so maybe I have pretended to myself that it is finished! lol Hopefully your finish will motivate me to finish mine.
