Blue & Yellow Quilt

Here is a photo of my finished blue & yellow quilt I have been working on. I did the last minute pressing this morning and decided I needed to take a photo. My sisters are both working today, so I had to take it by myself!

I kept thinking, I can do this. Just push the 10 second timer on my camera, run to the other side of the room, pick up the quilt, jump up on the stepstool and hold still! Guess what??!! It worked, although as soon as I held up the quilt, the camera flashed. If I only had a 9 second timer, it wouldn't have worked; I was that close! :)

I wanted to make this a quick project, so I decided to stitch in the ditch for the borders and corner squares to hold it. Then I would stipple a few areas in the center panel. Well, of course, once I got started stippling I kept thinking how it needed stippling here and here and here!

So I ended up stippling around the blue flower bunches, keeping in the yellow background. This worked great! The stippling allows the nonstippled flowers to puff up from the fabric. The corner squares are the same way; afterall, I can't do the center and not the corners! :)

I knew I shouldn't, but I did! I took 2 more hours and stippled the solid yellow borders! I am so glad I did. It adds so much texture; I would not have been happy with a plain, unstippled border.

Can anybody find the mistake in this quilt? I discovered it as I was stippling! :)
