I got this as a kit from Craftsy/Bluprint. I finished piecing it a year ago (May of 2019), put it on the longarm and stabilized with SITD, but then other projects came up, I took it off the frame, and didn't get around to re-loading it until January 2020. Then other projects kept getting in the way, the virus diverted my attention, and I didn't actually work on it for months. Now it's finally done. Along the way I learned how to re-time my Innova, and decided to simplify my quilting plan and just "get it done" after repeatedly hitting points where many, many layers of fabric (all batiks) made the needle jam or the thread break. It's about 102" square after quilting, shown on the floor and on a queen bed. And I have another top all ready to put on the longarm.

Thank you! I used a very pale thread in the light sections and a dark burgandy in the dark areas. I also used a black MicroQuilter thread for some of the ditch stitching.

The quilt is a beauty. And your quilting is wonderful. I have an Amazon Star that has been a work in progress for a couple of years. You are making me get excited about getting it finished. I'm about to get it out and do some more sewing.

Beautiful.....

Snooze2978 06-03-2020 05:12 AM

Stunning! Love the colors you chose but anything red and blue are my favorite colors anyway. Love the quilting you did. I have your Diamond Logcabin and its been done up to putting it onto the quilt frame so I understand where you're coming from. It took me a couple years to figure out how I wanted to finish the corners but finally got that part done. Now to find the time to get it quilted. Have 12 quilts on the rack waiting...........all gifts to others no less. Again, great work!!!!
