Gorgeous. I love the colors.

That's lovely, really like that scrappy look, and you did triangles in your first quilt, Well done :thumbup:

That is so cute. Love the star center and it really doesn't look all that hard - my type of quilt!

Great job, the colours are perfect too

Very Nice!!!! Love the colors!!!!

:D awesome...nice job ..great colors...

Oooo, that's pretty!

Beautiful! I love the color combination. :D

I love it all - colors, design... all of it - way to go!!

haha glad you like it! Im pretty proud of it so far so I think I will keep it :)

Thanks everyone. Im sort of nervous to quilt it tho! I dont think i can do the free motion yet

WOW...really really pretty!!!

I really like that quilt. Your colors are similar to my Carpenter's Wheel/Star quilt so, yep, I really like those colors. You did a fantastic job even if it weren't your first quilt. Nice job!

Jennifer-fabulous first quilt!! Are those Kansas Troubles Quilters fabrics in your quilt? (I love them and have collected over 400 different ones to make a charm quilt) I love it that you made one big star-what is the finished size of your quilt top? I need some size perspective here!!

Great quilt! Is the fabric from the Garden Inspirations from Kansas Troubles?

Great quilt top - I can't believe it's your first one! I love your colors too!

Beautiful! Great job with th piecing. I love the colors. Can't wait to see it quilted.

That is gorgeous. Just love it. Keep up the good work.

I believe so :) When i picked them I didnt know much about fabrics but I love dark country like stuff. The finished size is suppose to be a small queen size.. I'll measure it the next time I have it out.

Whats the best way to quilt it? What color fabric would go good for binding and border? I am hoping to buy online since the LQS is double the price almost. TIA

Beautiful, you did a great job :D

Great job....... Keep it up!

Great job!! I love the colors.

WOW :D I love the colors, that would look nice in my living room :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hey do you have a pattern, I would love to do one.

Very, very pretty. Love those colors. Great job.

Have a wonderful weekend.

simple quilter

I dont have the pattern since it was a class but its all 8 inch squares with the borders (will have to measure the borders).

Thanks everyone for the great comments :)

Aren't you so proud of yourself? You did a wonderful job and I love the colors you chose. What's next on your list? You do have a mental list, right? LOL

I am very proud of myself.. Just need to finish it! haha and yes I have a mental list of TONS on my to do list. I will be getting a couple kits in the next couple weeks so I will be working on a wrapping paper quilt (dont know really what it is yet) and the turning twenty pattern for 2. Plus a few I spy quilts .. oh my i have a big list already..

Notice that so far you do not have any suggestions from anyone on how to quilt this fabulous quilt of yours? "How would you quilt this" and "I just like to piece, not to quilt" are all too frequent statements on this board!!!! (Me included :D ) My only suggestion would be to quilt it in a way to emphasize the star in the center. Maybe meander quilting for everything around the star. For the star, you could stitch 1/4" away all around the outside. Then on the inside you can echo quilt by stitching rows that are about 3/4" apart-start at the outer edge and work to the center. That would give you "stars" all the way to the center of the quilt. Does that make any sense at all?

For binding I would use the same blue fabric that you used for the outer border. If you are putting another border on, then I would use that fabric.

Your quilt is beautiful and I cannot wait to see it finished!!

Thanks Marcia,
I think that makes sense. I have dont think i could free motion but maybe the 1/4 and 3/4" lines I could do. I cant wait to get a chance to work on it some night soon.

Gorgeous! Jump in and quilt that beauty! What's next?!!

Well that is just fantastic for your first quilt! I love the colors that you chose. Make sure you share photos of it when it's all finished!
