Stargazing is finished! I am so excited! So excited!
This is my first quilt. No, not the first one made in my house. Stargazing is the first quilt that is fully mine. Completely mine to use on the couch or to cuddle in when I am sick.
What I love most about this quilt is that it is a bee quilt, so it has a little bit of personality from several of my online bloggy friends. This is a real communal quilt as it was not only stitched by 11 lovely ladies in Sew and Bee Happy, but it was quilted by the amazing Trudi. I think the swirly quilting finished this project off perfectly. I couldn't be happier.
As I was out taking photos of Stargazing, a rather large rain storm was rolling in....
Quickly, between the rain drops, I took a photo of the back. It's a 20's repro print by Aunt Grace with little cream colored flowers on a pink background. The rain was really coming down by now, so these photos leave a bit to be desired. Sorry! We'll have a real photo shoot soon. I promise.

ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with this quilt - and the quilting has finished it to perfection!
ReplyDeleteThe photos show a beautiful quilt but it is more beautiful in person! Di x
ReplyDeleteDi is right, this quilt is fantastic in person, full of personality, and such a shame the backing fabric cannot be fully appreciated, it's so pretty, without being so overwhelmingly pink! Congratulations on your finish! Here's to the next one!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt too! And the scrappy border frames the stars so beautifully!

ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and perfect for cuddling in. I am sorry I missed seeing it in person.
ReplyDeleteIt is sooooo pretty. Still contemplating if I should ask my fellow bees to make one like this together. I also meant to tell you that I am very happy with the fabrics I ordered from your shop and I was impressed how fast they got here (Germany). Thanks so much!
