I dug out my son's quilt and put it up on my wall this week. I really need to finish this, since he is heading to university this fall. Would be nice to finish it before he leaves. I was ready to start the borders when I put it away (but tired of sewing all those triangles). But now, looking at the plan, I don't like it. So a new border design is required. This will sit up there for inspiration, while I tackle one of my quilting projects.
This is the result of pulling out most of the quilt tops in my room. I went digging for backings, and came up with ideas for most of them. I'm not totally happy with all of the matching I did, so I'll be keeping my eyes open for alternatives.
In the meantime, my watercolour star is ready to baste. I pieced the backing today, and figured out the quilting plan - for the center star, anyway. Not sure yet what I'll do with the rest of the quilt.

Have you shown your April UFO? I like your sons quilt. That does look like a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteAt least you will not run out of things to work on for a while. ;-) Your son's quilt is going to be beautiful and I really love the colorwash star.
ReplyDeleteI love your son's quilt. The fading from dark to light is stunning.
ReplyDeleteQuestion??? Is your watercolour quilt your design or a pattern that was purchased?
Amazing star quilt! Glad you have all the pieces in place to get it finished up. Looks like you have a lot of quilting in you future.
ReplyDeleteI love your son's quilt, the changing color makes it look so beautiful.Your star is also amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love your son's quilt also. The change of colors is great. I also like the watercolor star and can't wait to see how it looks when quilted.
ReplyDeleteWow...you are making great progress with your quilt tops...love the star!
ReplyDeleteLove those stars and I love digging out all my tops and big pieces of fabric periodically. It is inspiring and motivating. Good luck in finishing it before he goes to school! I would be dragging my feet on that because my son goes next year and is the youngest, I am already dreading it.
