Wrapping Up The Quilting

 Finished with the quilting with the exception of a little section in the upper right, and the borders.
 Orange popsicle finished first with a mix of 1/8" dense quilting and cm wide stips.
 I really struggled with finishing the piecing on this upper corner, but happy with how it turned out.  The giant cosmos were a sudden inspiration, and perhaps my favorite quilting out of everything.  And I quilted in my signature above the stick.
 Because of the variety of density in the quilting, not to mention that the quilt was pretty puckery after pieceing, this lower talk bubble was super puffy.   I spent an afternoon hand stippling it into submission.
 Some fun fills to add texture.
 Purple Pirate
 Dated.
 A quote about the ancestors that the artist of the painting and I share.
And subtle detals of cartoons behind the cellophane.

My last decision to make is how to quilt the pink borders.  Planning on feathers on the blue.
