Christmas Stars For Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
Posted on | September 19, 2017 | 21 Comments
I an sharing a quilt in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival (Fall 2017)run by Amy Ellis from Amy’s Creative Side.
This is a quilt I made earlier this year and have shown it before, but I am putting it in a separate post for the festival.
The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by Sweetwater.
I wanted to make the star shape the negative space in this one so use the dots on a cream background.
The cream fabric went into the border as well as the sashing.
I kept the quilting to straight lines. Tram tracks along the seams and then diagonal lines through the stars.
I used a black with red stripe from the same range for the binding.
I happened to be in Spotlight after Christmas for their sale and picked up a perfect backing for the quilt.
Thank you so much to Amy for organising the Quilt Festival and to all the sponsors supporting her.
Take the time to go over and look at all the wonderful quilts. Here in the link.
Cheers, Karen.
This is such a fun quilt and perfect for Christmas!
Very nice, I like how the stars are white and surrounded by the prints, looks great!
So pretty! I love Sweetwater fabrics, too!
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love star quilts.
I love this Christmas quilt! So perfect!
Perfect backing for this quilt! I’m a fan of stars, any kind of stars. Lovely quilt!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Bring on the eggnog. You are ready for Christmas!! :o))
I loved this quilt when you showed earlier and still do. It’s the fabrics, I think. They are sort of muted in that they go so well together despite being different colors. But up close and personal and they are tantalizing. I want to get close enough to read the words and look at the little details. Of course, your stars are perfect!
I love a Christmas Quilt. The stars are beautiful and I straight quilting is perfect. Glad you shared at the festival. I am now a follower of our work.
