"Dark Ice" is Finished
 

I was getting a bit tired of stitching all those stars. There are quite a few of them. It came out okay though. I am happy with the results. It is 60 x 60 inches and is the Boxed Squares pattern that I am so fond of. The back is pieced, and also blue. It is ready to be a Christmas present for Jim’s youngest brother Chris. Here it is in a full view, and a close up of some of the stars.

Wow, that's impressive! I love that it's such a subtle but special detail.

nicely done

Beautiful! You done a great job!

Did you quilt this by hand? It looks like it and I really like the quilting.

I like your dark ice quilt! It will make a nice quilt for anyone who likes blue!

Oh, I knew I forgot to tell you something.....yes, it is hand quilted. It took quite a while, but it was worth the effort. I have thought of professionals many times, but can never afford it. And when I do it myself there is a lot of satisfaction.

very nice quilt.......

What a great quilt. Wonderful work!!!

Very very pretty.

Love all of your blues:)

Very nice and so early for a Christmas present...good for you!

This is a great idea,,to quilt with star designs. I am going to try it on my next quilt. I love your 'dark ice' quilt and all the different shades of blue. Thank you for sharing.

I so love your quilt.

very nicely done and your quilting is really worth the effort!

Great quilt my sister would love that she is blue mad.

You do wonderful work. Beautiful quilt.

Excellent work.

Wonderful work!!!

Great job and the best part is that it is only April and you have the quilt all done and ready for Christmas. I am sure it will be well received.

Where did you get the pattern? I think I would like to try it.

How great to see someone hand quilt a gift--I'm sure it will be a treasure for him. Lovely job--thanks for sharing.

Very nice! Love the blue, and your stars are beautiful!

that is beautiful-great blues

Beauiful, great job.

The stars add a special bit to a very cool, calm quilt. :) Nicely done!

Yes very subtle and beautiful

It is in a book I have, but I have also seen it someplace else. It's just a 2 1/2" square, with two more squares the same size either side of it. The other two sides are 2 1/2 x 6 1/2. So very easy. I have done this several times.

nicely done

Lovely quilt! It will make a wonderful gift.
