I started this quilt for my SIL, but ended up doing a different one for her. I wasn't that thrilled with the colors while I was working on this, but now that it's done, I really like it. I'm giving it to my nephew and his wife. At the last family party, she told me she's tired of hinting and came right out and asked for one. LOL How could I say no? :)

The pattern is Lucky Stars, by Atkinson Designs. I've made several with this pattern in all sorts of colors and they all end up looking great. If you're looking for an easy pattern with great directions, this is a good one. The fabrics are various batik FQs I bought at the LQS.

I'm completely thrilled with colors. Gorgeous! I also like the way you quilted the stars.

I love those colors! This is a beautiful quilt-I would love to make one like it.

Beautiful

Love it. Lucky nephew.

Beautiful!

Beautiful!! Love the way you quilted it!!!

That is a beautiful quilt - I will have to try that pattern..

All my favorite colors & I love the quilting design around the stars.

OMG - I am holding that pattern in my hands now! It has been sitting on my table - waiting for the 30+ fat quarters to go along with it. I loved the pattern at the quilt shop - bought it and am now in the process of buying the batiks to make it. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to photograph your beautiful quilt and showing it to us! I am inspired for sure now.

The colors and fabrics are wonderful! I love it!

It is beautiful! I love your color choice and use. Very very nice.

Love the pattern and your color choices! I will have to try this one soon. Thanks for sharing your quilt!

Beautiful pattern and colors. They will be thrilled to receive such a lovely gift. Great work - well done! :)

Love it,nice quilting also!

Beautiful!!!!!!

It's so beautiful I can't believe you didn't like it at first!! :D

Love the quilt & the fabrics you chose for it. I've had the pattern for a couple of years, might just need to cut into the batiks and start it soon.

It's gorgeous! I will keep my eyes out for that pattern. I', always looking for something that isn't too complicated since I'm a pretty new quilter! Good instructions are a necessity!

That is totally awesome. I love the fabric and color choices!

Beautiful. I love the FMQ curly-Q's coming out of the stars.

Gee this is so pretty! I love your varigated thread quilting on it.

Very Pretty! I have that pattern but have never made it. You make me want to dig it out and get sewing!

I love everything about it. The colors, the pattern and especially the quilting!!

Fabulous quilt and quilting!! I can't believe you didn't like it at one time! I love the batiks too! :D :thumbup:

For one thing, it's not my colors. I mostly like blues/greens/purples. One of the burgundy prints I got talked into buying I thought was very ugly...but the others are prettier, so made it receed into the background. Sometimes it's not the individual fabrics, but the blend that makes it work.

A few years ago, I bought the pattern and posted a picture of it above my desk. I started collecting FQs towards it. As I bought them, I tossed them in a large ziploc and kept it in the closet. Eventually, I had the 42 FQs to make a large queen quilt. The funny thing is, I still haven't completed that one. The star part of the blocks are all assembled, just need the rectangles around it. I put it aside to do other projects, but will get to it eventually. I picked a variety of colors because I liked the one on the cover. I think I'll create another post in the Pictures section to show the other colors I have made this in.

I have seen this in at least three different color schemes and loved it every time. Yours came just as lovely. She is going to adore it!!

Very nice, especially the colors!

It is such a cool quilt! Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction here (still a novice so I'm shaky on what is traditional vs. modern), but it strikes me as a very appealing mix of traditional blocks but with a very modern look. I really like it!

Gorgeous quilt! I love the colors and the quilting!!

That's gorgeous!
