Star Quilt Top Complete!


I'm excited to have my quilt top assembled from the Star Quilt along! I had to make one change from Amandajean's instructions. I did not have enough background fabric for the 6 1/2" border, so I added in a second, smaller border using the red/white fabric from the setting blocks.

Now I just have to decide on the quilting I will do and then onto the binding!
Wish me luck!

I have also been working on this quilt right along with you. This is my 2nd quilt that I have ever made and it has been a great learing experience!!

It is nice to see yours altogether. You did a GREAT job. Do you think Amanda will have directions for sewing the rest of it together?

Thanks for sharing!

This is SO lovely. don't you just love "happy difficulties" like not having enough fabric and having to go to plan B, which makes it look even better, I think!! Great job!

Jane Swanson said...

LOVE this! I was going to do the same thing for borders on mine because I don't have enough background fabric either. Thank you for showing me how it would look!
Just beautiful!
