my christmas present to myself! a completed, one and a half years in the making, quilt. this quilt was part of amanda jean's quilt along.
it is really big (for me), and i really love it!
i backed it in mostly blue, with a little orange
and bound with an orange stripe.
this is my favorite star
another favorite star.i really enjoyed the traditional-ness of this quilt. i love modern, wonky, unmeasured quilts, but i also love the order and straight lines that a traditional quilt provides.
Nettie, I've missed you. You're quilt is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd perfectly straight quilting lines, to boot!
Nicely done, for sure.
I would love it even if my favorite color wasn't orange!
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful quilt! I came across your blog and have been looking around...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have a question...do you do all your quilting with a standard sewing machine? Or do you have one of the large machine quilters?
I have so many unfinished tops or works in progress!
Can this stiple quilting be done on a standard sewing machine?
Blessings & Aloha!
i fell in love with this quilt when i saw it a while ago... it's been on my mind ever since. i've been collecting oranges and blues and am just now starting it... i was going to do a different sampler quilt, but this weekend, i got the itch and went with amanda jean's star quilt as well... hope you don't mind! thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures!
