So many choices!

I have been on a book buying spree this week and have so many quilt patterns to choose from now I hardly know where to start.  But then I screech to a halt and remind myself that I need to finish some of the quilt tops that have resided in my cupboard for far too long.  So today I cleared the kitchen floor and got down to basting this one.

I love the colours and was into orange at the time I chose the fabrics.  It will be nice to see it finished.  Now I need to choose a pattern to quilt onto it.  This will be the first larger quit that I will free motion so I am taking a Monet to pan what I would like to do.  I am thinking of stippling it and spent the afternoon drawing to test out the size for the stippling and trying to maintain consistent spacing.  I really would like to do swirls but for some reason I just can't master it yet so I will have to spend more time with pen and paper for that one.  

Wish me luck!  Stay warm and happy quilting!
