I finished quilting my niece's very girly quilt. :D (This is my finish for A Lovely Year of Finishes.)
In the purple and pink octagons I put cupcakes, similar to the cupcakes on the border. I traced around a paper template to make them as I'm not comfortable enough to completely freehand it. In the unicorns I put hearts, and in the square heart sections I did arcs to mimic rainbows. It was the first time I've used my circle ruler templates. I learned that I can't use the same template the whole time and get them to look like rainbows, but I can use the same one twice before the arcs start looking too bad.
In the background I did my normal meandering stars in a light pink thread and feathers in the border. It was my first time doing feathers and for the most part they turned out pretty well.
Cupcake quilting is amazing!!! Love this idea, your niece is soooo lucky. What a beautiful finish.
