Kiss Kiss Quilt finish #009

I bought a jelly roll of Tula Pink's Elizabeth fabric and had no idea what to do with it.  Then, one day on instagram, I show a post of someone using Tula Pink's fabric with her Kiss Kiss Quilt Pattern.  This looks like a great use for the jelly roll I had bought.  This quilt was very quick to make the top.  I've been holding the top for 7-8 months while I finished the Technicolor Galaxy quilt and the Unicorn Baby Quilt.  Now that those are done, I can finally get around to quilting this quilt. 

A couple months ago, I purchase the Christina Cameli's Wild Quilting class to learn who to do wild quilting (or graffiti quilting).  My favorite technique she used was mixing 3-4 quilting motifs to get a wild quilting look.  So that's what I decided to do over the entire Kiss Kiss Quilt.  The motifs I chose were: paisley, spirals, pebbles and mctavishing quilting.  I chose these because they are motifs that come easy to me or that I really like the way they look.

So far, my Juki TL-2010Q is amazing!! It is some much easier to do free motion with this machine than the Singer 8500Q I purchased.  I highly recommend the Juki for anyone wanting to do free motion!!

I actually finished this before Christmas, but it has taken me a while to get around to taking the pictures.
