Rainbow Belle Wave

I finally finished the June do.Good Stitches quilt yesterday.  I thought I had to have it done by the 15th, and it turns out I had until the 1st of December, but that's alright, because I needed a little extra push and I'm so glad I finished it.
It felt a bit surreal to be taking pictures of my June quilt while snow flakes were beginning to fall.  I didn't mentally prepare myself for winter very well this year.  It kind of snuck up on me while life was busily passing by.

I went for a fun rainbow batik backing, because I wanted something just as bright and happy on the back as on the front, but with a slight twist.
I typically like to stick with free motion quilting, but this time I decided to get out my walking foot and echo along each of the waves.  You can see it on the back if you look closely. 
Our Wish Circle typically donates every quilt to Project Linus which gives them to very ill children.  My husband works with these kids on a daily basis as a Pediatric Oncologist, so I thought it would make a little more sense for him to just directly give it to one of his patients this time around.  I'm excited to bring a little sunshine to one of his kiddos at the hospital.
