Just for Me - Paisley Window Pane finish #003

After I finished my first quilt, I was hooked.  I purchased the window pane pattern from Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter for my second quilt. I went a little crazy at Joann's and decided to make a really girly quilt with a bunch of different fabrics I really liked. 
 Since it was all squares and triangles, it was really easy to put together and went pretty quickly.
I used a paisley fabric for the back and decided to trace out some of the designs using free motion in order to quilt it.  This was my first attempt at free motion and I liked it.  At the time, I didn't know that when you start FMQ, you should bring the bottom thread up.  I also didn't know about tying off the thread and burying them.  So, I  just trimmed them when I started and stopped.  Hopefully it will stay together fine.
