Large Pink Stars and Quilted Stars!

7/16/2016

Just the binding to finish on this pink star quilt.  This is another quilt I quilted last Thursday on the longarm machine.  Lines of quirky wonky stars have been stitched in white thread the length of this quilt.  There's lots of white on this modern design quilt (approx. 38x42") with five large stars pieced in an assortment of pink, yellow and green fabrics.  The backing is a Swiss dot ... tiny pink dots on a white background.

I'm almost done with this new table runner with just the binding left to finish.  Three different green batiks combine with a solid cream cotton in a wavy design.  The backing is a gorgeous green and cream batik; it almost makes the table runner reversible!  I finished the quilting on this on Thursday doing a "free motion" leaf pattern on the longarm machine.  Lots of fun!

Simply handmade baby quilt 36 x 46 in orange and white
Simply handmade baby size quilt 36 x 46 in orange and white.
A variety of beautiful orange batiks combines with solid white to make this refreshing small quilt (36 x 46).  I started with the gorgeous fabric in the center block (found at MaryJo's in Gastonia) that I just had to have.  A unique quilting pattern, done on the longarm quilting machine, adds to the fun of this quilt because the quilting pattern could be described as wonky dots that run the length of the quilt (see detail below).  The backing is solid white and the binding is a vibrant orange batik.
