Here's my completed wall hanging "Jumpers" designed/pattern by Jeffie Johnson.  See my post August 20, 2014 with information about sources for the African wax fabrics and the pattern for "Jumpers".

Here's a detail of the girls' faces, jump rope quilted using a utilitarian stitch (#8 on my Bernina 440) on my sewing machine.  There are stars in the free motion quilting at the top but not in the lower part of the quilting.  The earrings and decorations on their shoes are buttons and the jump rope handle is a bead.

I really enjoyed working on this project.  The designs and colors of the African wax fabrics are amazing.  And of course I love this delightful appliqué pattern!
