It's remarkably easy! Trying out the quilting foot on my new-to-me Bernina. The unmarked spiral was only a bit hard to see, so drew feathers and a star; only glitch was that I didn't lower the feed dogs and so took larger stitches on one leg of the star.
I'd been avoiding it, hearing everyone talk about how hard it is, and especially as I am no good at embroidery, but it's really not hard at all!
Now just to baste the windy days quilt and get started!
This was originally my Ravellennic Games project, but I did the back first, the needles were too small, and I had to tear it out, so I lost steam. I finally finished it a week or two ago. It's remarkably hard to get good shots of a baby with a cell phone camera... and I have to find time to get the pictures off of the good camera if I want to show you those!

For what it's worth, the size 6-12 and 12-18 month blouses can easily be cut from 2/3 yard each, and possibly less, in case you were wondering...as the pattern says it's one yard for all sizes 6 months to 4T! The remnant bin can still be your friend for both blouse and skirt.
So, when I went to the store to get a pattern for an outfit for my upcoming nephew, I may have gotten distracted...
The corners are from the same yellow as the back; not sure about binding yet, but may just turn the back forward...might make an interesting effect with the matching corners? But quilting comes first - haven't decided about that yet either (style or color)!
