Happiness is .... a star quilt


I had a fun time making these stars and I'm pretty happy with the final product.  Kona ochre is my new favorite color and it made a  nice frame to this quilt ... don't cha think? 


I had a pleasant time with the hand sewing this week while watching Mad Men on Netflix.  I can't believe I haven't been watching that series!  I've got one more quilt to bind this weekend so I'm saving my discs for another hand sewing marathon.  Bring it on! 

I'll enjoy this quilt for a while but I made her for a special person in my life.  Can't wait to let her spread her cheer.

    I agree, the ochre boarder was a great choice. Every inch of this quilt is absolutely beautiful. Excellent job!

    Wow, this turned out just gorgeous!! I really like the ochre, but I especially like how you have just a few random square in square blocks to add interest to the stars....

    This is lively and charming - I like it when free piecing still looks cohesive, nicely done!

    I love the stars! How did you do the label? It looks neat, but I couldn't see it real well.
