2013 Sugar Block Quilt Back

Done! I finally got my 2013 Sugar Block quilted and the binding stitched on.

I love it! I am so excited about this quilt. In all of it’s colorful glory.

I wanted this quilt to be a bit softer, so I made sure to not densly quilt it. I tried to make big, loopy loops and swirls in an all over design. I thought it would be easy. I found that it was not. I mean, quilting it wasn’t difficult, but it definitely wasn’t easy. I still haven’t quite cracked the code on a good thread, needle, speed combination to free-motion quilt headache free.

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
