A detail of flower and quilting on my sample/practice project...
Below are all the printed nasturtium images for the Challenge Quilt, now affixed to Pellon Wonder-Under (Misty-Fuse can also be used) for easy transfer to the selected base/background material.
I've selected the fabric below for the back of the quilt.
With 505 Basting Spray on the Warm & Natural cotton batting, both the backing material and the background for the flower fabrics are temporarily adhered. This makes quilting so much easier - no pins to avoid, no hoop to work within, just the sandwiched stretched somewhat tautly as I quilt.
Below, the first stitching detailing on the nasturtium flower...
The completely stitched flower and some free-motion echo-type of quilting on the background...
Some potential fabric options for the outer border (which should have been selected & attached prior to the quilting, of course!
More options for the border...
Selecting one fabric background at a time to get a better look at what the end results might be...
And another...
And another...
Favorites anyone?

The quilt to be is wonderful! I love the oranges and the energy from the colors. My favorite border is the multicolored with the splash of the orage.
I just love what you are doing and am really interested in the step by step process. You make it easy to follow along.
I really like the brown fabric!
Hi, Paper-Person! Love your blog - might you also play with beading, flowers and little boys???
Amazing! I've always loved your quilts and your process. And you know me, I usually give my opinion if asked. So, I like the last option best. That's just me, non-quilter quilter lover :)
