Scott's StarI have finished Scott's Star (Carolina Christmas from Quiltville.com) It was a mystery quilt before Christmas last year and I have delivered it to my son and he loved it.
I also finished , today my Double Delight (another Quiltville mystery). The top was completed within 4 months of starting which was a big accomplishment for me but then it had to wait to get quilted as other items seemed to take precedence. Anyway I started quilting it just after Christmas and then it had to wait patiently for binding which I started before we went away a couple of weeks ago.
I finished the binding yesterday and washed it today, it has turned out so lovely I am going to miss it. Early on although I liked the way the pattern was going I wasn't crazy about the pink but I was sure my daughter's mother-in-law would love it so I decided it was for her. I must admit over time the pink has grown on me and I'm thinking I might have to make another one....... It will be on its way to its new home in Ontario later this week and I know it will be loved and appreciated so all is great. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Father's Day.
Double Delight
Wow. . they are both GORGEOUS!!! I love Scott's star! The colors are so rich and "primitive" (which I'm a big fan of the dark reds and beiges and dusty blues) I love your sashing, I used sashing too as I used the QAYG method. For some reason it's not letting me ssee a big view of the DD. . but from the smaller picture it still looks amazing. . your borders are crazy. . anyone who makes MORE SIS's for the border must be certifiable!! But it looks AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I am especially LOVING the DD border - how clever you are!
ReplyDeleteMy DD is still awaiting quilting, although I'm to the point of measuring my backing for it. I already have the batting - slowly, one step at a time! It's been finished for over 1 year.
I saw your message on the Yahoo Quiltville list.
Both quilts are gorgeous! I like your sashing. That's what I want to do on mine. I just finished the blocks and have to decide how to set it. How wide did you make your sashing? I've never done sashing before. I also like your borders on your DD. I wish I could see a bigger picture of it. I might have to make that next. : ) I also saw your message on the Yahoo Quiltville list.
ReplyDeleteI am in the quiltville yahoo group with you..both your Bonnie quilts are FABULOUS! Congrats on getting them done. So far Double Delight is my favorite of them all!
