Here's some pics of the quilt I finished today for my mother-in-law. I love her to bits, and she's been more like a mother to me and has loved me as her own. This will be a Christmas surprise for her, so it'll be a while before she gets it.

I made it with a Moda layer cake in the "Harvest Home" collection by Blackbird Designs. The pattern is called "Hidden Stars" from the "Layer Cake, Jelly Roll, and Charm Quilts" book by Pam & Nicky Lintott. I really like the look of the crisp white stars against the background fabric - I think I may have to make me one for myself some day in this same pattern. The finished size is 60" x 72".

Nice quilt! I, too, like that crisp star look. The colors are warm. I like your label too... I've never put one on mine.

That is absolutely stunning! I love it!!!

Love it! Beautiful fabrics!! :D

Fantastic Job! Great fabric/pattern matching :D

That is a gorgeous quilt! You are putting out quilts very fast! Good going! :lol:

Beautiful Quilt!!! She will be teary eyed when she receives this 8) 8) 8)

Shame on you not labelling. If you had the choice of two antique quilts you could buy, both pretty, both the same age, both the same price, would you buy the one with the label, or the one without? What you put on a label is the ONLY information anyone in the future will know for certain about your quilts. Please reconsider.

Your mom-in-law is going to be thrilled! I think you're a natural quilter, Eddie!

WOW ! Great job, but more impressed that you are already getting things done for this Christmas :mrgreen:

it is just beautiful!!

i agree with you 100% that the white star really make this quilt pattern stellar.

typically star patterns use the print fabric to make the stars and the white fabric as the background and this is just such a refreshing change.

i really love your work, you are truly an artist and have a great eye for putting together pattern and color.

you've made a 5 star quilt for your MIL and she just going to go thru the roof when she sees it.

Eddie, what a wonderful gift. I love it!

She is going to love this quilt.

Love the moda fabric and what a great pattern. Must look for that. You are talented

Beautiful quilt Eddie!!! Wow, you really crank those out quickly!

Thanks for all your kind comments and encouragement, it's much appreciated. You all are the best. :)

Awesome pattern! Did you stitch in the ditch? I could not see the quilting. Beautiful colors. I have the same pattern book and have considered using the pattern.

Eddie, that is a really lovely quilt. I know she will be so happy to receive it!

Beautiful, love how the stars pop

Yes, stitch-in-the-ditch on all the seams. I used white for the top thread (since most seams were of the white material) and a tan color thread for the bobbin thread. A note about that pattern in the book - it says the finished size of their quilt is 59" x 72", which is wrong - their actual finished size would be 49" x 62". I added a 5" border all the way around (their version didn't include a border) which then brought it up to 59" x 72".

How gorgeous!! I felt that same way about my MIL.. loved her to pieces... Your MIL will love this!!

wonderful quilt, just bought a moda layer cake on the shophop in the area. love that fabric. great job

WOW Eddie!!!!!!!!!

You've done it again - you totally amaze me at how you knock out these beauties one after the other like you do.
Your MIL is one lucky lady bless her, how lucky is she to have such a caring SIL like you. I love stars & the fabrics you have used are so scrummy I could eat them LOL. Don't forget to post pics of her at Christmas with her quilt :?:
