I received the most gorgeous quilt today from Jillaine. It is just my style and I LOVE it so much! :)
I know how much work went into this quilt, THANK YOU so much Jillaine. I would never make one of these for myself, too much work :), so I am truly blessed to receive such a beauty. It is perfect in my bedroom :) and thank you for the scraps!

Absolutely beautiful quilt!

Yeah! It arrived! (Better late than never?)
SO glad you like it.
And I can't take all the credit... Charisma Horton did the quilting. First time I've sent out to a long-armer. I'm pretty happy with the result.

isn't it purty? (I loved the fabrics)

;-)

beautiful quilt!! Love the pattern did you come up with it? Wow you are both blessed with great quilts.

Wonderful quilt. Awesome piecing and stunning quilting. Great job jillaine!

Ohhhhhhh that is so beautiful

It's a basic lonestar design. I followed the "colorway" of the fabric. It came with a panel of "handkerchief" squares that I used in each of the corners (and, cut in half diagonally, the four set-in triangles). It also came with stripes/bands that I used for the internal border. Then it was a matter of figuring out how to do another border using up the remaining fabric-- so I did a combination of single-piece squares (of the larger floral pattern) with pinwheels, alternating.

Despite my efforts to measure the borders the way instructions tell you to, I still had some rippling. (Sorry!)

And if I were to do it over, I would have used a solid backing instead of a print-- even though the print is subtle, it does not show off Charisma's long-arming as much as a it could. When you use a solid and have good long-arming, you really get a second quilt on the back side.

And I LOVE Charisma's "traditional" quilting of the lonestar itself. (The arcs inside of each diamond)

Wow! Beautiful quilt! We've seen beauties here. Such skilled ladies. Thanks for the candies to our eyes.

Received my quilt!
