A Star Finish.
Posted on | January 8, 2014 | 17 Comments
The mystery quilt from last year is finally done. Good to have another UFO off the list.
I have found it a little difficult to get the true colours of this quilt in my photos. Neither outside nor inside photos gave the richness of the colours.
Never mind – the quilt still looks fine.
Here is is outside.
I then tried some pictures inside to pick up the quilting. They worked a bit better.
I used several rows of straight stitching to focus on the ribbon part of the quilt, then used a variety of flowers, swirls, bubbles, loops and teardrops to fill the others spaces.
The binding was the same as the outside border and I found a lovely sewing themed print for the backing.
It is not a large quilt – small lap sized or wall hanging, I suppose.
Time to move on to the next UFO which is half way through quilting. Looking for another finish.

Your quilting is beautiful! With practice, my FMQ will one day look better.
Wow. Very, very pretty! I want to tackle some UFO’s this year too.
Gorgeous!!! I love that you outlined the star a few times and then started the filler quilting. It looks great!!
The quilting is fabulous. I struggle sometimes getting colours to look true. The digital camera just doesn’t work as well sometimes as the old film cameras.
Hi Karen, your quilting is so pretty! I love all the different patterns – they’re beautiful!!!
