Here is my latest favorite quilt. It is also the one I am using as a header on my blog currently.
I took it to guild today to get a charm for finishing a large quilt. I came home and put it on my bed and will sleep under it for the first time tonight.
This quilt was made over the past 3 years. It was a block of the month at the Allatoona Quilters’ Guild and I finally completed it this summer before our quilt show. I used many, many black and lime green fabrics and really love this quilt! If I decide to keep it on the bed, I guess I might have to repaint.
The feathered star was a challenge, especially since I wanted it to be scrappy. I finally paper pieced it. I wanted to custom quilt this but realized that it was so busy that my efforts would be wasted so I did an overall swirl and it turned out just fine. Of course I used lime green thread!
This is my current entry in the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival. Be sure to check out all the other wonderful quilts.
