I'm so pleased with this quilt, it's really soft and snuggly. I ditch stitched the blocks then hand quilted around the stars.
The hand quilting is by no means perfect, but it's good enough. I found a lovely backing fabric which echoes the stars on the front and has tiny little hearts in it. That Katarina Roccella is clever :-)
When I put this on my list for the first quarter of this year's FAL I didn't expect to get it finished because I had no idea how long the hand quilting would take. It didn't take as long as I imagined so I actually slip in with a finish this quarter!
Your hand quilting looks lovely.

ReplyDeleteHi Megan. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you have used the low volume prints. They keep the quilt background interesting. Lovely hand quilting too pulls out the stars 😊😍😊

ReplyDeleteI love your hand quilting around the stars. It really makes them pop. I think that combining hand and machine quilting is certainly the way to go on some quilts. It's a lovely quilt - congrats on a finish!
