My goal this month was to quilt my Churn, Churn, Churn mini quilt. I wanted to custom quilt it, and I did. Typically I have a plan for what I am going to quilt prior to starting. I did not do that this time. 
I used four colors of Glide thread (Monarch, Cornflower, Mars, and Space) and a Frankenbatting remnant of Pellon Bamboo batting. The blue thread didn't match as well as I'd hoped. It looks sort of green against my fabric.
I did a combination of FMQ and ruler work. There are definitely things I would have done differently. I thought I was going to do the pebbling in all the blue, but I was really tired after doing the outside, so I did quicker things on the inside. In retrospect, I would have done the coils on the outside and the pebbles on the inner parts. I probably should have redone the corner coils because they are kind of sloppy. 
And I made some big errors in my crosshatch considering that I used a ruler, but I was tired and my back was killing me, so I left it. 
I tried a boxy quilting in the red that turned out pretty well. I know that's one of the more basic FMQ patterns, but I've never tried it by hand before.
I finished sewing down the binding yesterday morning! I didn't think I'd get it done in time.
For the backing, I sewed together a bunch of red charms I received years ago from an international swap. I thought I had centered the top with the backing, but as you can see, it was a bit off. Luckily I did not run out of backing fabric! 
Now it's your turn to share your finish. Add your link and then go visit other linkers and make new friends.
