Lone Star for Danutia
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had a lot of trouble with this quilt to say the least, it is for a neighbour, she has a gold leather couch so I thought this would look rather nice, I am minding her dog whilst she is away so I will drape it over her couch for when she comes home tomorrow as a surprise, I do hope she likes it.

Martha my Springer says hello to all the fur babies.

I started this quilt last July at a two day class, I found the class very rushed and I was so upset with the result when I got home so I put it away until I decided what to do, I did a lot of unpicking and this is the result.

The Star is hand quilted and the pale yellow borders are done by machine.

I wish I had a dog and that you lived next door so I could leave you in charge of my dog and couch for a spell. Is she ever going to get a wonderful surprise.

Looks very nice, your quilt matches the picture hanging very well. This home looks like it needed a quilt

joyce888 04-11-2014 06:37 PM

Very nice, cute dog.

JuneBillie 04-11-2014 06:53 PM

Very pretty quilt, and hi Martha. Martha is a very sweet pretty looking girl.

irishrose 04-11-2014 07:28 PM

Very pretty way to soften up a leather couch. Your neighbor will be planning her next trip with a welcome like this. Lily and Moira send a hello to Martha. I'd never get them that close to a quilt because they aren't allowed to bother quilts in progress - except when the breeze from the Border Collie tail blows blocks off the design wall.

Bright and beautiful.
