Sprouts

It's a finish!
Sprouts
64 x 72




I quilted it on my DSM. First I did straight line stitching in green down the length of all the stems.  Then I switched to a neutral thread and free motion quilted flowers and leaves in the background. I left the sprout leaves without quilting so they stand out from the background somewhat. 
The binding is also scrappy. 
Lots of scraps were used in this one! 

I thought the backing fabric looked like a garden of pink sprouts. 
From far away you can see the impression of sprouts in the backing. 

This is now in the stack of hugs to be given as needed.
