[QUOTE=Kehoeta;6436749]So - nearly all the previous quilts I have made have been donations, or gifts for other people I made this one at the request of my DH for our bed. Top is made -now I need inspiration to quilt it. I'm thinking about echos around the stars....[/QUOTE

Love the echo idea around the stars......what is the name of this quilt? I would love to know to purchase the pattern.
Great job!

Kehoeta, this is stunning. I just love, love, love it.

First of all, I can't stop looking at all the PERFECT seams!! I can't wait until I can get all of mine looking that way!!!
Second, echoing the stars sounds good, then what about the feather that fits in those triangles, you know, longer in the middle, then equal plumes as you go out on the sides.

Awesome piecing! The echo quilting sounds nice. I like the way the colors make the pattern interesting.

Just gorgeous; no wonder it's a "keeper"!

Kehoeta 12-04-2013 10:13 AM

Thank you Everyone for your comments and ideas... I really appreciate it. My inspiration and pattern for this quilt is in the November/December Fons and Porter magazine. Deb Tuckers Hunter star pattern. (p40). Also - I will tell all of you that I am not the best piecer in the world. But using the Rapid Fire technique and ruler... You trim the squares down to a consistent size.. It really helps in creating consistent sharp points and getting a nicely finished quilt. I was also very patient when sewing and pressing all the seams throughout construction. I will post the whole quilt soon.
