Thimbles for Malia

My favorite cousin created this enthusiastic quilt for her granddaughter.  She plans to use it on the floor as a play quilt and said "you can just stipple it" but I couldn't make myself do it!  The fabrics were so exhuberant that I just had to quilt in some of the flower,fern and curly elements!

Being such a new long arm quilter I hesitate to "show off" with these closeups after seeing so many amazing examples of quilting online but... I can always claim beginner status!
