Butterflies in the FMQ garden and pond

I think that I'm finished! What do you think? Is there anything else that I should add to this free motion quilted (FMQ) practice piece?

FMQ garden and pond
I think that it has done quite well, considering its very humble beginnings as a gray FMQ piece three months ago!

Here are a few details. I used the Kimono Silk Thread that I've been working with on my Gaïa's Garden.
A few butterflies
 I was thinking that I could add more colour to the butterflies and especially the dragon fly.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet - so please link up and let me know what you think I should do. Is it finished or does it need a few minor touches?

What I learned
  • I copied the butterflies from a colouring book onto freezer paper. I then cut the freezer paper and drew around the shape onto the fabric with a Frixion pen. This is certainly better than trying to draw from a picture since I can never get both sides the same. If you're wondering, that's what happened to the dragonfly. 😊
  • 🎈BTW, this is my 🎈 300th post over 7 years. Wow, time flies...🎈

Thanks to everyone who linked up two weeks ago. It's great to see quilts at all stages of production - from a few basic but important lines, to finished quilt tops, and fancy quilting! This week I really enjoyed Sandra's wonderful Harry Potter fabric pillow for her daughter. It's a really lovely project, so if you haven't seen it yet, here's the link.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
