Finished the Make Life quilt!

I finished quilting the Make Life quilt and got the binding on last night.
Today I washed it to give it the nice crinklyness
 ( a new word I invented!) :)
I'm not real sure I love this design, I love the fabric and I like the quilting I did on the sides but I'm not sure this will be a design I'll do again. Though I do have enough fabric from the charm squares ready to make another one, this one in more blues and browns. I have to make it since I already have the fabric, I don't want to waste the money. I'm a little afraid the backing will show through to the front.
I took this photo in my basement, at night so forgive the shadows. In this pic you can see the quilting I did. I used the shape of the flowers from the backing and just added squiggly lines between them. When I was finished I added more squiggly lines to fill the space. I like the effect, gives it a "girly" look.
I love the fabric with the words on it, I tried to get some more of the print with the words in multi colors but haven't been able to find it. I guess I have to be more on the ball for next time.
Haven't decided what I'm going to make next. I have to finish one of the pink quilts but have several projects I want to make for 
ME!
