Anyone remember my post about Christmas 2010 when I made this quilt?
Well, this years job was to make a quilt from the scraps for boyfriend's mom!
What do you think?
I love this design, whichever way you look at it your eye catches something different
Same Yankee fleece backing as 2010
I didn't bind this quilt, I turned it inside out and topstitched the edge and inner edge
Simple enough, but will keep the batting in place
I was afraid too much quilting would take away from the design and also, have you ever tried to quilt fleece? ugh, pulling and puckering mess.

Size: 48" x 60"

It looks great!! That pattern is one of my favorites!! SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat design! Congrats on an early finish!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, WTG! The end of my list to make is nearly in sight, and I'm also wondering if I can sneak a quilt in now... I've got the fabric all cute, sorted and clipped together by block, so maybe? ;o)
ReplyDeleteYour Boxy Stars is a beautiful quilt! Your boy friends mother is quite the lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Always, Queenie
So awesome, Jennifer! I'm sure she'll love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern and the colors! There's a ton of movement in the design; it makes it really fun to look at (I'm sure there's a more descriptive word than "fun" that I just can't think of right now...). I'm also impressed that you topstiched it; there's no way I would have been able to turn it inside out without it becoming a huge puckered mess! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful pattern, so striking!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen this pattern before,it looks great.Yes, you can get another one done before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your Christmas 2011 quilts are so pretty!! I love the black and white for through the ages, that is just wonderful! And the boxy stars, well the only thing that could make it better is Cubs fleece on the back :) It's a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteFab quilt - it really stands out!
ReplyDeleteNice work! You're right ... the pattern is very intriguing and nifty. Beautiful!
