How about a Xmas in July ..... hmmm ..... August ..... quilt? I meant to post this quilt in July, but time slipped away and here we are in August!
"Christmas Stars"
A close-up of the quilting design.It's not often that the back of the quilt is shown, but here it is for this quilt.
Quilt Details:
Pattern Source: Inspired by a quilt shown in Fons & Porter Love of Quilting, Nov/Dec 2021. Their pattern was all machine pieced using only a few fabrics, but I did my quilt using the EPP method and there is quite the variety of Xmas fabrics.
Diamond size: 1-1/2" edge
Started: November 2021
Top Finished: April 2022
Quilt Finished: June 2022
Quilt Size: 59-1/4" x 81-1/2" (top size before quilting, washing and drying: 61" x 83-1/4")
Batting: Hobbs 80/20
So, there we have it ..... another quilt to display come this Xmas.
This quilt was worked on during Chookyblue's (http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/) zoom meetings. Many of the ladies (from around the world) who zoomed in at the same time as myself saw me working on this project.
Cherish your day ..... cherish your life!
Love it - well done! You will have a new display quilt for December.
