The wait is over - I've teased you enough - introducing Joy,
my creation for the Making Connections Blog Hop.
Composed of quick and easy half square triangles, the design is perfect to showcase the quilting from the Making Connections - A Free Motion Quilting Workbook by Dorie Hruska.
With so many designs to choose from, I decided to keep it light and airy for this quilt - and the effect has paid off! Ready to see more? Then here we go!

Designs in the negative space

The back
And a motif in a square
Just looking at these pictures makes me ohh and ahh - and I own the quilt! Really - anything is possible with the designs in this book.
Now how about a chance to win a copy of Making Connections? Today is the last day to enter the Rafflecopter giveaway on my Making Connections Blog Hop post, and to visit the other quilters who are also giving away a copy! Hard copies will be sent to US winners and electronic copies to International winners. Here's the list again, so you can increase your chances of winning!
