If you like feathers, get the Hooked on Feathers book by Sally Terry - you won't look back!!

I love that pattern, the quilt and the quilting are stunning. God bless.

Hi Katrine, my workspace isn't that large, so may have to build an extension ... only joking. I looked at your earlier thread and see what you mean. Yes I will have to give it a go, I can rearrange my furniture. Can't wait to see your next project.

You did a fantastic job on quilting it. I've never done any of my own quilting. I want to learn how but I'm very intimidated.

Beautiful quilt and beautiful quilting! I can't believe it wasn't done on a longarm. I think it takes a lot more than a Janome 6600 to accomplish this. You are very talented!

Beautiful quilt. Your quilting is awesome.

holey moley! The quilt is beautiful! But the free motion is truly incredible. I want to do that so bad, but still can't manage a stipple.

Annya 09-14-2010 12:35 AM

I wish my FMQ is as good as yours. I can't even do the feathers yet only the stippling. I will have to try on the next quilt I do that will show the quilting off like yours did. Well Done. :thumbup:

Love this quilt. I'm a "star" block fan and love to make them. I would love to have the pattern if it is available.

It's based on the pattern in Star Happy Quilts, by Judy Martin

Beautiful work!

I am just loving your star design and the colours, but your free motion quilting is in another dimension itself. It is fantastic. Cannot believe you accomplished this - am i correct in saying that you did it on a normal sewing machine? How long is your machine arm length to needle? Wonderful it really is. 3 weeks worth. I am not surprised you are REALLY HAPPY - my gosh, i would be flying high. :shock:

Yes I did! On a completely normal Janome 6600 - the harp length is 9 ins.
It's a king size, but I had a table in front of the machine table to the wall, and a stack of boxes etc at the left hand of me to support the quilt.
I did STID around all the blocks first, which are 12 ins. Then I just worked on one block at a time - then started the next one.
I worked from the middle out to sides, so the most I had scrunched up in the harp was half the width, decreasing with every block I worked.
It was daunting, but once I'd got the first few blocks done I really enjoyed it.
Here it is being done
