Improv bias applique - AMQF challenge quilt

After 4 years of hard labour my Pfaff Grand Quilter has final developed a problem and shreading my most reliable thread when FMQ.

When I asked the Iching a few weeks ago if I should buy a long arm and it told me "you have exhausted your old self and can only move forward with your new self" ... maybe it meant my quilting machine rather than me.

So after such a frustrating day yesterday of trying everything to fix the thread shreading today I took it to be serviced and repaired and decided to do some nice relaxing improv applique for my AMQF challenge quilt .... now just need to think of how this fits in with the "celebrate" theme.
