| stars and honey ~ a very special quilt |
 |
| i was inspired by liesl made's stripey lone star i doubled the block size and used muslin foundation instead of paper piecing |
 |
| the last few blocks traveled to mexico with me last winter along with esther [my 1960 featherweight] |
 |
| i stitched a few blocks old school on our beautiful patio in PV ~ no mats ~ no rotary cutters ~ no iron ~ it was totally worth carrying esther on the flight xo |
 |
| this quilt was a labour of LOVE taking over a year to complete xo |
 |
| 9 blocks were made with borders to complete this queensize quilt and many photos were taken during this time xo |
 |
| definitely recommend pressing those seams OPEN and using wider stripe near the center... |
 |
| i machine quilted stars and honey with honeycomb by dave hudson |
 |
| and stamped a label for them special xo |
 |
| LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this finish xo |
 |
| our family cat pepper even got in on this shot |

Stars and Honey is such a beautiful name for your wonderful scrappy star quilt. I love all the shades of blue, and labelling by stamping straight onto the backing is genius.
ReplyDeleteI remember when you were working on this! Lovely finish ; )
