I asked my hubby to be the clothesline so show off my DONE Blue Star Struck. I debated on that orange slim border but really feel it frames the blocks well.
This quilt is Aleighsha's birthday quilt. Her BD is in November. I am way ahead for a change!
This is the quilt after block assembly but before the borders were added.
And here is the quilt being quilted. I went around each light and dark star. It was lots and lots of turning but the results were great!
I love that little orange border. I can only thank Bonnie Hunter for teaching me about using a contrast color to make the quilt body POP!
This is a test block for another grand daughter's birthday. She loves purple. I did all the strips sets today and cut them into the wedge shapes. I hope to sew them this next week. I also did several strip sets in greens to mix into the purples. Cross your fingers....
All done and again wonderful hubby is holding it up for me. This quilt came about as a personal challenge to myself. I won a yard of "ugly" fabric at the last guild meeting. I wanted to prove to them that the fabric was BEAUTIFUL! Tomorrow night is the next guild meeting and I plan on bringing this for show and tell. I also need to find a yard of ugly fabric to offer as a prize. Yikes! I love all of my fabric and hate to say one is UGLY!
I mitered the corners. And the guitar stripe was so perfect for this project.
Here is a closeup of the easy straight line quilting I did on my Janome 6600P. I love this machine! I used a 40 weight gold top thread and a deep blue John Flynn's So Fine in the bobbin. This machine takes whatever thread combination I throw at her!
