MSQC-Double Square Star
 

Hi Quilters! This is a Double Sq Star from Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Co. I added a scalloped border, my first try to make one. I know it's not perfect and not a deep scallop, but I didn't want it to look exactly like half a circle, nor just a wave. Also, I know this goes against all we have been taught or told, but I cut my binding the length of my backing yardage, not on a bias. Jenny told us to clip at our points and make it lie straight when sewing at points. She can explain it better than me. Anyway, I had already cut my binding when my friend Martha suggested the scallop edge. I told her I didn't have any material left to cut a bias binding, when she reminded us about our class with Jenny using straight edge. I do have three pleats or pinches on back when I quilted that I do I need to fix, but I'm close to finish!-lol-About time too since I made this top last year.

Looks great!

Very pretty!....and I love the border!. I'm going to have to go get a lesson from Jenny!

I think the scalloped border looks great. Beautiful quilt, quilting and colors. Great work.

That's a beautiful quilt & I love the scallops. I'm working on a quilt right now & thinking of stippling like yours. If that's the way I decide to quilt it I sure hope it turns out just half as good as yours. Great quilt, quilting & color combos. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The fabric were charm packs Maywood Studio, Roses on the Vine by Marti Michell.i also used some yardage like border from Joanns and burgundy was from my stash. Thanks for looking!

I’m sure yours will be great. I love quilting like this, it’s so relaxing if it’s not too big of a quilt. I always start dead center but I pin, pin pin first. Thanks for looking!

So pretty! The scalloped edge is lovely.

Very nicely done!

What a pretty quilt! Love the scalloped edges

Two thumbs uphttps://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png! That looks great. I think your size scallops are perfect. Deeper (1/2 circles) really are not as nice, in my book!

Take a bow...can you hear me clapping? :)
 

Way to go on completing a beautiful quilt! I enjoyed seeing your photos. Thanks! I like the way you did your scallops...as you said, not a deep scallop.

Pretty fabric collect. I think you did a wonderful job on your first scallop border. It looks lovely on your bed.

Beautiful quilt, love the scalloped edge and your quilting. Looks so pretty on your bed.

That is beautiful and the scalloped edge is just what it needed!

Toogie, that's beautiful!!! I love everything about it. Aren't Jenny's patterns nice? I love watching her and have made many.

I love your scrappy colors. You did a wonderful job on this quilt and I would not be concerned about a couple puckers. Always keep in mind there is no such thing as a perfect quilt. You have done a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely quilt! Perfect pattern for those fabrics.

It's beautiful!

Great job! Very nice color selection and finishing. You have a good eye.

I think the scalloped border is perfect with the block pattern. It's a very pretty quilt. Nice work.

Very pretty and love the scalloped border. You did a wonderful job.

That scalloped border really adds definition to this quilt. Nice job!

Lovely quilt!

Beautiful quilt and quilting. BrendaK

Good job! I find scalloped borders so hard to do, yours looks great! Love that blue.

Good job on the scalloped border- I really like the way it works with the pattern. Well done!

Well done. You've inspired me to think about attempting scallops.

Thank you for sharing! Your quilt is beautiful. I am at the planning stage to make a baby quilt with this pattern. I googled to see some color combinations and your thread popped up! Your quilt is great inspiration for me.

I like you scalloped border a lot. Not to big, just right! I have not ever tried on. Probably should just to say I have given it a go. Your quilt is lovely.

Your gentle scallop is a perfect finish for this quilt.
Love your bedskirt! It, too, compliments the quilt so nicely. Is that handmade, too?

can you believe, I bought this crochet bed skirt for ONE DOLLAR at a garage sale! I was ecstatic to find it!

Can you also believe no one has chosen this quilt for their own? I am making a bed quilt for each of my 3 kids, grandkids (11) and 3 greats will get bed size or 60x80 oversized throws. My oldest girl doesn’t want this one. I told her to choose a pattern she likes and tell me her colors. I told her this at least a year ago. She doesn’t have time to look. I told her she may end up without one, as I can’t live forever😳nor can I make a queen and then she may or may not want it. Anyway, one of the grandkids will choose it or it will be an inheritance if someone hasn’t received theirs.

Very beautiful!
