Sunlight in the forest

A November goal complete.  Participating in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal, my hope was to quilt and bind my Sunlight in the forest quilt, and happily it is finished. 

This quilt was started in a class taught by Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably at Out of Hand quilt store in Calgary, I believe it was January 2015.  It is called ‘Sunlight in the forest.'  Designed by Kaffe, you can find the pattern in his book Quilts in Sweden. 

For the quilting I chose a pantograph called Anne’s Garden by Anne Bright.  The quilt is busy and so is the pantograph, which makes it hard to see the flowers and hummingbirds and butterflies, however this reminds me of nature, walking in a forest, or even checking out a bush in your garden, which is very busy with life sometimes hard to see – camouflaged - unless you stop, be still and take a close look. Can you find the critters and flowers in these pictures? 

I found a suitable backing, another Kaffe fabric and added some back art with leftover squares which didn’t make it into the top of the quilt.
