I’m all about self-imposed deadlines right now…
I want to get my friends Get Well quilt quilted and on the way to her by the end of February. Which means I had to get the top together first.
The layout is pretty straight forward. It’s just the stars laid out in a grid, with more four-patches as the cornerstones.
Simple in theory, but a little harder when you have to work around these two. But eventually – I prevailed.
I normally shy away from pieced borders. They can be a real pain to get the right size… but I had a pile of four-patches leftover, and I wanted to make this one more rectangular than squares so it seemed like a good use of them.
Luckily, both top and bottom went on without much trouble. And now this one is ready for quilting!
I’ve got a gorgeous purple floral for the binding, and this great rich blue for the back! I better make a date with Mom!

LBB and Lemmy are just snoopervising, and like all snoopervisors, they get in the way of the real work!

That is such a beautiful quilt! I know what you mean about pieced borders but those four patches made the perfect top and bottom border. What a special gift for your friend.
