A little quilt

I made this quilt just because - fun to do but now I can't quite decide what to do with it!  However, there is a spot on my sewing room wall where I think it would fit so maybe that's where it will end up.

It's a 'Piece of Cake' design from years ago, and it's quite big; the block without borders was 20". 

I quilted it in a hot pink thread, in an allover design of swirls and feathered flowers.  I'm not a massive fan of dense quilting around appliqué, although I know a lot of people really like the way that makes the appliqué pop.  I DO like the way it looks, but I think the density of the background quilting makes for a very un-cuddly quilt, and I do like a cuddly quilt.

In other news, new thread arrived last week, in thirteen yummy shades that are worth a post all of their own, especially as I sacrificed a nail getting the box open.  I probably won't show you that though!
