January--Sewing Project--Finished?

Happy New Year!  I finally finished sewing a design that I've been working on for several months now.  I'm not sure what the end product will be (throw pillow, wall art, baby bib...), but I'm glad to have finished a design that was stuck in my head.

Here it is:

It measures 18" x 24"

Here are some detail pictures :)

 

 

I really enjoyed choosing the colors and designing this piece.  I simply could not get it out of my mind until I had actually put it together.
