It's finished! It's finished! After all these weeks, I am so excited that my Star of Bethlehem quilt is finally done. I had visions of a gorgeous spring day for the photo shoot for this quilt, but of course the weather had other plans. So, a wet and dreary photo shoot it is.
I opted to quilt with doodle spiral daisies which fits the floral motif, and a crisp navy binding makes a great frame for this quilt.
Now that this quilt is all finished, I have to dig back into the editing and revisions on my manuscript, so I'm unsure of what I'll make next. Stay tuned...
Marga's Crafts shared this beauty, AND it's on the cover of Quilting Arts magazine!
Last week's party was filled with awesomeness, like this gorgeous top by Gretchen's Little Corner-
And finally, LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color linked up this fun little quilt-
Okay y'all, it's time to link up!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
Congratulations! Your quilt is amazing and the backing is so clever. I love it. Well done on stash busting too, always a nice feeling
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks beautiful Kelly! Thank you for sharing mine:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up the fabrics from the front to make the backing, and I do love a nice, dark frame for a quilt. Congratulations on the finish and I hope the manuscript editing goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteLove the spiral daisy quilting!!! And how great it looks on the back, too!!! Such a beautiful quilt, Kelly!!!
ReplyDeleteAll so special- love the colors, the backing - I could stare at this all day!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Pop Bouquet quilt! What a clever idea to use your scraps to make the Log cabin backing. A really interesting addition to a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your quilt, Kelly!! The navy binding frames it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteKelly, your free motion spiral flowers look amazing! When I saw this on IG I thought you'd done a computerized quilting design and I was wondering where I could get it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of pieced backings, but this beauty makes me want to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Love!
ReplyDeletePop Bouquet is beautiful Kelly. I really enjoyed seeing the blocks as you worked on them and all the variety of prints/colors. Love the flowery quilting pattern you went with too.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful, I have been watching a while. Hope to find pattern and follow your way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the finish, Kelly! The quilt looks amazing and the texture from the quilting is perfect. Have fun with those revisions, lol.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I love the back too!
ReplyDeleteYour Star Quilt is lovely!!! And the quilting is perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt turned out beautiful! I love the scrappiness of it, and the log cabin backing is the best sort of design to use-up leftover pieces. So fun to make a quilt entirely from stash, especially one's print stash. You did a lovely job with the quilting too. Sorry to be late for the linky! I finally had a finish to share, but... oh well. :-) I'm glad you shared your finish!
ReplyDeleteSo many more gorgeous quilts, as always. I am really loving the bright vivid colors too.
