Carpenter Star

Here is a Carpenter Star quilt I made. It measure 84" square. I really wanted to do some fancy quilting on this so I could enter it into shows. It'll be in our guilds show in Oct. I even matched the binding to match the border. A first for me. I'm hoping to put it in the Dallas show in March also.

Beautiful! Was it quilted on a longarm or a DSM? Good luck with the shows!

Having enter many quilt shows including a couple of major ones in the 90s, an important item that the judges look for is perfect hand stitched binding and that the quilt lays flat. Good luck !!
