Carpenter Star Quilt and Finished!!! or not Friday

I made this quilt a few years ago as a way to follow some Quilting Videos that were put up by a friend. 

The quilt is a Carpenter Star - the blocks were 7 inches - maybe 6 1/2 after the half squares were made. 

 ( someone always asks and if you have known me, you realize.. I am not good at remembering details!!!)



The fun part was doing all those feathers - I had a fun time with them. Put some Josh Groban Music on - and quilt away!!

And I used White on the back so I could see the quilting.


A friend of mine is in a Veterans Group - they raise money and support a LOT of other Veterans groups - so we thought that maybe they could use this as a raffle quilt this year.... so!! It is on its way to him.


Which brings us to you!!! What have you been working on?
