First Finish of 2025

Hello 2025.  I have my first finish of the year!!

I started Quilting Jetgirl's Star Pulse QAL on January 2, 2024.  This is the bonus quilt that is made from the extra HSTs created during the process.

As the quilt is small, I decided to use it for free-motion quilting practice using my domestic Baby Lock Accomplish.

I definitely need more practice, but I'm okay with the result.

I decided to use a light lime green thread as the backing fabric is green.

I created a scrappy binding to match the general areas of four of the colours in the quilt.
