Update on Snapshots quilting

I've gotten all of the quilting done on my quilt from last year's Fat Quarter Shop Snapshots QAL.

I did organic wavy lines on my home machine.  It was quilt a big quilt to work on but I did the quilting over the course of several days.

I've machine attached the binding and will enjoy a bit of hand-stitching as I finish off the binding.

I've also been outlining with pearl cotton some of the blocks and adding features like the paws and face for this puppy.

I should have done this stitching before I quilted but I find I'm able to run the thread through the batting without coming through to the back of the quilt.

I had originally planned to add spokes to the bike - any suggestions on whether I should or not?

Rainy weather today made a picture of the whole quilt difficult but things will warm up as the rest of the week progresses (!!)
