"Monkeys and Bananas" Quilted!

Proving that every once in a blue moon I can start and finish a single project without being distracted - the quilt I started Thursday night was basted and quilted before lunch on Friday.

After a little trial and error on some scrap fabric, I settled on one of the stitch settings on my Kenmore machine. The repeating scallop pattern makes me think of the trim on Victorian houses or sweet little play houses. I think it's a slightly more girly touch to what felt like a fairly gender neutral quilt.

This was my first time quilting with anything more than a straight stitch - and I couldn't love the result more! I'm not sure if any of the other pre-set stitches would work for quilting, but I'm going to find out. As soon as I'm ready for July...
