I would have like to take outside pictures but it was extremely windy and I didn't want to chase the quilt across the yard.

ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous quilt. The appliqué really makes it special. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteOh Gretchen!!! I love Star Dance and the progress you are making!!! That third corner and the close up looks AMAziNG!!!! Thanks for sharing :D Kathi
ReplyDeleteIt is looking wonderful isn't it, I'm very pleased anyway.
DeleteAfter seeing your beautiful Star Dance quilt I had to order the pattern!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the pattern. I did make more stars so my quilt will be larger than the pattern. I'm using the same applique design though.
DeleteThree out of four ain't bad!! Best of luck with the completion of the final corner.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the applique, The quilt is looking great!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! The appliqué border frames the rainbow stars beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYou have done some really nice handwork. It will be a work of art when you finish.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering how big your quilt finishes. It also looks like you put your star blocks on point where the original pattern did not. Am I correct? Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI need to measure the quilt and see how big it is. It's not a bed quilt, the pieced star blocks finish at 4". I'm not a quilt designer, I'm a pattern changer. I need to have a pattern to begin with then I decide what I want to change to make the quilt my own. I'm not fond of squares quilts, I want them rectangular. Yes, the stars are on point now, I like diagonal settings. The original idea I had was to make this into a crib quilt but it's going to be too large for that now. I'll get the quilt measured this week and incorporate all this information into next week's post. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteHi Gretchen,
ReplyDeleteWow, this is really nearing the final corner so to speak. It really is beautiful, and I can see why you were drawn to the pattern originally. Your fabric choices are superb and really make the whole project. Soon you will showing it on your bed! Happy Sunday! ~smile~ Roseanne
This is a happy quilt and it makes me happy to work on it. What I especially like about it is that all the fabrics came from my stash. I didn't buy anything for it. Of course it didn't make a dent in the stash. I don't know if I will be able to finish the applique border this week or not. Depends on whether it quits raining then we need to wait for the soil to dry out before we can drive equipment on it.
DeleteI love this quilt! It is so bright and cheerful. The applique is the perfect complement to those stars.
ReplyDeleteLove the border. I think you might have inspired me to finally dig out my midget appliqué project and work on the border next month!
ReplyDeleteLovely work on this...so pretty hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt. I love the applique you've added on the borders.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I almost started mine this morning, but Mountmellick and I have a long way to go! You have done some beautiful quilts this last year and the last 5 months a tremendous job in cleaning UFO’s. Can hardly wait to see a finished Nearly Insane!
ReplyDeleteYour Star Dance quilt is so fresh looking Gretchen and the stars look great on point I did not realise how small those stars were????? Lots of work but oh they look so lovely. Great border to finish them off. Glad you are finishing this lovely quilt top. Hugs Glenda who is also having several finishes this year Yahhhhhhh !!!!!!
