Over a year ago, my DD visited, after her last deployment to Kuwait. We attended the local quilt show, and we had such fun choosing some fabrics for me to make her a quilt. I finally got around to making her the shining star quilt, that looks like a lone star, but uses HST instead of diamonds. Finished the quilting last night, washed and dried it. The back is flannel, and the label is a "Hello Kitty" piece. I did SITD around the star, and some creative stuff elsewhere, even writing a message in the outer border. The batting is Warm and White, and it is a lap sized throw. Will mail it to her later this week. It has to be one of the prettiest quilts I have ever made!

How pretty. I love how the star is done. I may even try that one. :roll:

That is truly lovely.

Your quilt is very pretty. Was it easier to do using HST? I tried to do a lonestar many years ago but had so much problems with everything stretching. I now have alot more know how but still have stayed away from it.

This is truly beautiful. She will love it, especially because you made it for her.

so beautiful...you did a great job and she will love it :thumbup:
