It has finally happened, the last of
the RSC string, giant stars have been
bound. They have been moving around
the house, (with the help of my little GS)
the past two weeks. One is destined for my Cozy
Collection and the other as a Wedding gift
for a yet to be announced nuptial.
First the quilts came home to the living room,
then they were used as pillows,
then they moved to entry to welcome family,
then they got a little family of their own!
I moved them down to the workroom for binding.
They needed some great colors for the bindings.
The local long arm business
did the quilting with two different star patterns.
Star quilting 1
Star quilting 2
So here is the quilt show!
Displayed here for a nice memorable photo session.
A few inside pictures too!
Lots of fun to do and even more fun to enjoy.
Happy stitching all around. Stay safe and sew on !

Oh, wow! Those are fabulous! Love the border additions. What size are the stars, please?
ReplyDeleteThank you ! Each star measures 24 in. The string blocks are 6 1/2" unfinished and the stars are 4 blocks by 4 blocks. The borders were fun to do and added the extra bit to make the finished size and framed the blocks nicely. They are even kind of a ying and yang, with one having a colored zig zag and the other a white zig zag.
ReplyDeleteThese are great stars and made two lovely quilts. I really like the border you added. I’m making improv and strippy stars for one of my RSC projects this year.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! Congrats, double congrats! I love the pieced border especially the white zig-zag one. Wonderful! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThank you , the borders were fun and used up a lot of leftover 1/2 squares.
DeleteCongratulations on finishing up these two RSC quilts, Deb! One for your Cozy Collection and the other for a wedding gift? Sounds SEW perfect!
