Ready to be quilted
 
3 Attachment(s)
This quilt top is finally done. It has 4,924 pieces! The pattern is from the Feb 2018 issue of the American Patchwork and quilting magazine. The colors are from my scrap box. The white background is all from my stash. I purchased the navy for the stars and bonding. There will be no borders since it already is 96 1/2 by 96 1/2 inches. The stars took a long time to make. They finish at 3 inches. I am happy with the results.

Great pattern! I admired it when I saw it in the magazine and those that would have the mettle to actually make it. Haha. I love the scrappy bright colors you used.

I saw the other one and thought "YES!" I even saved it in my collection I see this one and I think, "NO WAY!" I can't believe you made that many stars! That's amazing!

That is a beautiful quilt and happy looking too. I can see those stars taking a long time. I love all the colors. Great job using what you already had.

Thanks for posting the magazine too. It helps to see how different they become when you use your own spin on the pattern. Very happy bright quilt.

Wow! That's a lot of pieces in that quilt! It shows that you took your time piecing it. I look forward to seeing it all quilted.

Beautiful! I admire your perseverance too! ........So if it has almost 5,000 pieces how many finished stars are there?

wesing 12-17-2019 06:06 PM

Beautiful quilt! I love quilts that take a simple element or two and turn them into something unusual and wow-worthy. You did a great job on this one. I love your tiny stars.

Lovely use of more scraps. How patient you must be to make all of those stars!

You're "happy" with the results?! I think ecstatic, overjoyed, jumping up and down is in order! That's wonderful.
