Welcome! I am so glad you stopped by for another edition of Bloggers' Quilt Festival! This time around I'd like to share with you the SuperStar quilt I made for my son who just went off to college, which seems appropriate as it is also Parents' Weekend ;-)
There are so many aspects of this quilt that I like: the various sizes of wonky stars, using two different cream background fabrics, random layout of the stars, scrappy binding, pieced back, the leftover star on back for the label, and deciding to quilt it myself.
If you are interested in more details about the quilt or the process, you can click here.
It was a big deal FMQing this on my machine, and it seemed to take forever. Spirals were quilted in the star centers using variegated thread, while loops and stars were densely quilted in the negative space with matching cream thread.
Best of all, my son loves it!!!! Doesn't he look all comfy lounging on his dorm bed?!
I hope you enjoyed your visit. Feel free to leave a comment, look around and come back again!
Enjoy the other festival entries and have an amazing weekend!
I love the two neutral colors for the background, too! I'm not there yet, but I love the improv look to this quilt. It feels so liberating :)
