The blocks finished at 11.5" and a setting of 2x3 plus a couple of borders gave me a finished quilt of 36" x 48" - just a nice size for a baby.
I stitched in the ditch around the star points, stippled the center and used the same background filler I used on my Fishy Wall Hanging.
I wanted to see how the pattern would look quilted on a plain fabric.
In the coloured border, I quilted a half feather all the way around.
In the outer border - well what else but more continuous feathers.
This quilt is going to USA where I am hoping it will be sold along with a few other bits and pieces I am working on. I have been invited to take part in an open house sale of arts and crafts so I thought I would give it a whirl!
I've also made 5 flower pin cushions for the sale...
Here's 3 of them and a close up....
At the moment I'm busy working on a few other projects. They are fairly small so I will be back soon to show you what I've been up to.
Enjoy your weekend
Rhianon.
I'm just a little bit late, but I'm going to link up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict, and TGIFF.
It looks wonderful! How does the quilt feel with that background quilting pattern? Is it stiff at all?
