FNWF and a finish

I joined up with Cheryl and 53 others to stitch the night away on Friday for FNWF. I was still quilting my SIL quilt. With a little more stitching yesterday, it's finished. I'm very happy with the quilting in Perle 8, and how the Little Black Dress fabric looks. It's for her 50th birthday, and I don't think she has any idea that I have made a quilt. I found it hard to choose fabrics since we don't see each other all that often, so I stayed with a safer choice. I hope she likes it.

Now back to some appliqué, and start quilting the next quilt in the queue.
