I did not follow through... cuz I am a bad quilter ( bwahh ha ha)
But today!! I fixed that - and I followed through!!
My original Post about this quilt - and now!!!
The Reveal!!
So this one is outside and gives you the true colors, but the sun was so blinding - you can't see the quilting to prove that I Quilted it!!
I took one inside as well - so you can see the quilting... because - come on people - I am a Machine Quilter ( for hire, if your looking haha) but the colors are a little darker...
I think that I shall bind it in Navy Blue.. but that is a post for a different day - like maybe October... ( I did not say which year tho!)
Now!! BEfore you link your post - click here to open a new song from Estin and the 86'd - a little local ban here - and give their song a listen.. let's see if we can get their listens up about 1500....
now!! Lets see what you are up to!!:
how has the stitching been going for you?
Very cute quilt! Your machine quilting is great! Do you machine bind?Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAnother star block. I could get really busy and try to duplicate that one. It's great Alicia. The quilting is really cool.
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia! What a fabulous finish for a Friday. And a two-year-old UFO finish at that - that has to make you feel good. It's so pretty and looks quite dashing against the deck. Amazing the color difference on the inside picture. Your quilting looks fabulous. I think a navy blue binding will be the perfect frame to pull out those lovely fabrics. Happy Friday! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThe subtle tones in the background make the star pop! It's lovely, Alycia.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool quilt, and the quilting, as always, is spectacular and creative! I still can't believe you got to meet Kevin the Quilter!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty scrappy star - well done!
ReplyDeleteOk. If that means you are a bad quilter then I am a really really bad quilter!
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt but love the quilting. Congrats on a finish!
ok! now I want to make this quilt too! and I think I gave away my 60 degree ruler before I moved thinking I would NEVER use it! Time to put on my thinking cap and figure it out...I only hope that I don't forget about it. LOL ps: Great job on the quilt! :)
ReplyDeletePretty cool string use!
ReplyDeleteA great scrap busting project. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish (almost)! This is a great idea for string blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up -- "to prove that you quilted it!" But I'm glad you included both photos, because the quilting is really cool! Did you do that with rulers, paper pantograph, or computerized quilting? I love the zigzags and circles design! Great job, and I'll be looking forward to your binding post in October of 2023... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the quilting. Sometimes a quilt has to age and ripen to reach it's full potential. So if it takes a bit to get on the binding, just remember that.
ReplyDeleteOooo - how lovely!
ReplyDeleteI must learn from you - how to make one perfect star and then don't let anything distract from its perfect beauty!!! Well-done, Alycia. Binding is the easy bit - just one afternoon :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great quilt and it's great that it's now done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the machine quilting! love it!
ReplyDeleteI thought about making my string star quilt larger, but kept it at the smaller size. One of these days I think I'll make 4 or more stars, and put them in a larger quilt (together). Kevin's class was fun!
