congrats on what you have completed so far! its going to be stunning! |
To answer some questions:
It is a Derek Lockwood pattern called Starburst (http://www.lockwoodquilts.com/store/...starburst.html) It has instructions for paper piecing and regular piecing (I'm doing regular piecing) It uses a ton of fabric because it is a king sized quilt. There are 10 different colors used, ranging from 1/2 yard to 7.5 yards for the black background. I think the total yardage was about 16 yards, but that's just a guess because I'm too lazy to go find that page of the pattern and add it all up. I'll add this stuff to the original post, so it can help others. :) |
Nice quilt! I am very impressed that this your first one. My first big quilt was a huge disaster that I took apart. Keep at it, you are doing fine. Gina

I was just directed to this thread because I was asking for advice on this very pattern... Wow! Yours is gorgeous A friend purchased the kit a few years ago and then was afraid of it. So she asked if I would consider making the top for her in return for her doing some quilting for me. I told her I would bring it home and look it over. Needless to say, I find it quite daunting. My pattern (and kit) does not have a PP option. Just all those templates (which I started to create today)
I am going to try it with some of my lesser valued stash before I ever cut into her fabric. I would love to have some virtual hand-holding and someone available to ask advice if I hit a snag. Can I beg, pretty please... |

First quilt???? Good heavens, I can't wait to see your 10th....a quilter of 20 or 30 years would hesitate to make this one, and you did it for your first one. I'm so impressed! Great job, and your sister is going to LOVE it!
