Brown feathered star
 
2 Attachment(s)
My second daughter reminded me that I had not made her a bed quilt since she was in college more than 20 years ago. What kind of mother must I be, although she does have numerous lap and wall hanging quilts. She wanted it to be only brown and beige and even sent me several yards of fabric to start with. It finished to be 90 inch square. I paper pieced the majority and hand quilted it. Next week it will be going up to Illinois to help her get through this wicked winter.

Oh my gosh, it is jaw dropping. The design is so wonderful and so are the colors and the quilting is exceptional. What a treasure.

Grammer Ann, I just love your quilt and your workmanship is outstanding. Would you mind sharing the pattern name or is this your own creation? I would love to tackle this one. I can't say enough about the pattern and to think you hand stitched it. You deserve a blue ribbon in my book. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Jaw droppingly beautiful! Feathered star is definitely on my bucket list. Your hand quilting is positively exquisite.

Edited to add... When people ask what makes an heirloom quilt, they need to see this! Absolutely an heirloom quality quilt.
