This is one of the five quilts I made last year when I challenged myself to clean out a bin of "Autumn stuff". It is the first of the five finished.
I quilted it with vertical squiggles and loops.
The backing is a small piece of fabric I picked up at the thrift store many years ago. It still had a 45 cent price tag on it. I finally found the perfect place to use it and there was just barely enough of it so it was meant to be. I made a scrappy binding. I used some brown backing trimmings. I cut the trimmings to 2.5 inches and if anything wider than an inch was left on the piece it went into the string box.
A lovely finish and I really like the quilting pattern.

ReplyDeleteI love stars and making another quilt or two with them this year
ReplyDeleteI like your quilting design a lot. Did that take a lot of time or practice?
ReplyDeleteLike mangozz, I'm really taken with that quilting motif. Did you start with the squiggle and back fill in between with loops, or vice versa? Gotta try it :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great star quilt. Love those autumn colours and fabrics. Such a pretty backing, that was a good find all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteThose stars are bound to put a smile on someone's face. Nice to be able to finish up a project that's been in the bin, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour are getting braver with your quilting. I like designs like this that go from one side to the other. It makes fewer decisions for me and fewer threads to bury.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great cause to support with your quilting!
ReplyDeleteI want to try that quilting design!!
