Since I cannot share a colorful scrapping binding with you to mark the occasion, here's a view from the (plain muslin) back of the quilt--showing some of my very first FMQ stitches on the Singer 301 outlining all those leaves on tea tea towel and the last of FMQ stitching as I added black stitching to trace the lines on the butterflies.
Don't judge the tension and quilter control problems too harshly ... I developed a lot of skill along the way. There are some loose threads in this photo, too, that I didn't notice until I uploaded it :-)
In case you've missed my posts on this project, here's the tea towel I used as a start for this project.

I plan to share the finished quilt later this week.

What a great idea to outline a tea towel. Great machine quilting practice!
The back is as pretty as the front!

Love your machine quilting! You can really see all the work you did when seeing the back. Beautiful work!
