March A Lovely Year of Finishes

I finished my March project for A Lovely Year of Finishes.  I was so happy to have this off my pile, I felt like it was taunting me.

A while back I had seen a quilt a long for this quilt called the Pervalong.  I thought is was fun and interesting and decided to give it a try.  I started out and made the center square of the small quilt and then got distracted.  I blame my sewing ADD.  So the center sat and sat until I added a border and then another made of improv pieced fabrics.  And then it sat again.


I chose it as my March finish for A Lovely Year of Finishes.  For the finish I added another border and then quilted it to death.  Seriously, I machine stitched (semi) straight lines randomly across the quilt one way and then another, perpendicular to the first lines using about 2 and a half bobbins on this little quilt.  I feel like it might have been a bit of overkill, but I really like the look it gives the quilt.  


I made sure that strawberry was pieced so you could see it clearly, I kinda like how it pops out of the quilt.  
All the quilting on the back gives a plaid look to it. 
I am happy to have finished this quilt.  One more off my pile of unfinished quilts that seems to grow when I am not looking.
