OK. This one is all mine. I pieced, quilted, and bound it all by my lonesome self. It was A LOT of work! Now in saying that is was a lot of work, it was also a lot of fun. The crazy star stack and whack method from
Buggy Barn is really fun, and not too hard to do. I did make 48 of those four inchers. Not to mention the half square triangles of which I lost count along the way. I think the saw tooth border was definately worth it! I wish I could say that I was keeping this quilt, but it was a for hire job, so I will be saying good-bye to it soon.
Here is another shot. I stitched in the ditch around the stars and filled the centers with swirls. The inner sashing has three straight lines going through it, with a wavy line through the outer sashing.
I went for the feather border, and it turned out nicely. I used to hate feathers, but they give a nice old fashioned touch. I followed the sawtooth border with a wavy line, and filled the inner border with alternating swirls and stars.
This is my favorite quilt that I have quilted lately. It was pieced by my mom. (It is actually applique.) The pattern is by Quilt Soup.

I thought you might like a back view of this quilt as the quilting is easier to see. I love the soft and rich colors in this quilt, as well as the applique. The vine on the wreath is chenille ric rac. Nothing is happier than ric rac. You can see the swirl meander in the center of the wreath with swirls, leaves and flowers on the outside of the wreath. The outer border is my favorite floral border with leaves and the inner border is loops.
