I started this a while back - I am guessing at around 2008 - and I did the tracing and the vliesofixing. Then I think I did the raw edge machine appliqueing at a retreat. Then it sat...and got boxed up as a UFO. Then it became a Project for 2013 - and then it got a turn this month.
The pattern is by McKenna Ryan from her In Full Bloom pattern. I had thought I would do all the blocks - maybe I will - maybe one day...but I always intended to have the fuchsias as a wall hanging.
I decided to experiment with some machine embroidery for the quilting - the butterflies - and then decided to do a few lace butterflies as well. And a few beads...
I used Susie's Magic Binding method for attaching the binding - its really very easy and I think it gives a nice finish.
I posted it on my blog too - if you want more photos and more about my adventure with FMQ...
