Here is a close up of the quilting. Susan chose a flowery template and used a dark pink thread.
The backing is the real "fun" part of the quilt. I had purchased this fabric for pajama pants, but decided it was the perfect backing for a Wicked Girlie quilt. Don't you agree?
Since this quilt is meant for me to use when DH is traveling and since he is traveling tonight, I am going to sleep under the quilt even though the binding is not on yet.I started the binding on my DIL's quilt today, but I'm having some upper back pain so I didn't get too much done. I guess it's time to go see my PT for my "annual tune-up." I was hoping to make it through a whole year without having to see him, but no luck. Oh well, at least I know a few trips to see him and I'll be better soon.

Enjoy sleeping under that beautiful new girly quilt. It is really cute.
That really turned out sweet! Maybe little sprites will sew the binding on when you're sleeping! ;o) Enjoy our new quilt!
Awesome! I love the backing, and I'm so glad I was there to see the piecing of the front done. It looks great!

I love the job your quilter did, and you are right, the backing is perfect!
I will mention the stitchery swap (and pay it forward) on my next post, cheers, Tracey
That is so cute, just love your backing fabric, and what terrific quilting. Yo don't think your hubby would want to sleep under it?
Gorgeous quilt....she did a great job with the quilting....thnx for sharing the backing, its perfect and i love to see the backs of quilts as well as the tops!!!
How wonderful!! It's just perfect for a girl's mind set!!
What a fun quilt! And I love the name, too. You have inspired another 'wanna do' for me- my own version of a wicked girlie quilt.
Enjoy - it looks great and girly, too *s*
What a great quilt and the quilting is great!
Really cute quilt, really nice quilting. You have a gem of a quilter there.
Looks fantastic, Paula! Your quilter did a wonderful job on the quilting and the backing looks like it was an inspired choice. Good reason to go shopping since your pajamas are now going to grace your bed.
You'll have fun getting new sheets for such a pretty quilt. Always love an excuse to get a new sheet set :-).
Nice! I love it.
Fabulous quilt and the backing fabric is perfect!
PERFECT backing fabric!
I made one similar to this for my niece...love the colors! Wicked cool...
What a wonderful quilt to cuddle under when your other cuddle half is gone. And what a great name for it! That backing fabric is a hoot.
Sure hope your back gets better soon. I have a lot of upper back pain when I do a bunch of sewing.
