Notice there is still some chalk marks on there, but I will wash it after it is bound and it will be gone....
It looks puffy - but its not, I think that is wierd! I quilted in each block, and when you carry it its not to fluffy.... I guess I like the effect tho!!
Pat showed me how to make a new star *deallie* and I wanted to try it - so this solid block gave me a great place to try it.
See the chalked star? I did that in the borders even with each block.
Weave like quilting in the small border
And another star - just cuz I was so tickled they worked!!! And looked equidistant from each other ( thats a math term, and I am just throwing that in there... it sounded good LOL)
Saturday - I thought I would host a Quilt of Valor progress link up.... so if you have finished a top, quilted something, bought new fabrics, cut something up, made a new block - go ahead and share it.... Give us some inspiration!!
Love the red, white, and blue! Good luck on your goal!
ReplyDeleteNice star quilting on the blue blocks. Colors look great with all the pieced blocks.
