This is the last quilt I will finish for 2016. I love floral fabrics and polka dots.

That's beautiful. It's not simple to me but it is very elegant in my eyes. I like the back too. I'm going to try add more to my backs from now on. I've only done one design back & liked it a lot.

Very beautiful! I love florals and polka dots too.

Your star makes a fine, dramatic statement. Sorry we won't be seeing more from you for a while.

Love the polka dot fabric, really stands out beautifully!

I just tallied up my quilts for this year. I've made ten quilts including a EPP hexie lap quilt that took me almost three months of working on it full time. I'll be concentrating on making string blocks until I get my scraps under control.

Wonderful Carpenter's Star

I had never thought to put them together, but they're perfect companions. Thanks for teaching me this!

Same here, but it made up wonderfully. Great job.

Beautiful and refreshing Carpenter's Star quilt. I also love polka dots with florals. They just sparkle-just liked yours. I know you are looking forward to 2017.

linmid 11-08-2016 04:43 AM

I'll have to rethink my dot fabric use after seeing your quilt. I really like it.

nls 11-08-2016 04:52 AM

Very pretty!

I like tis one and the colors but I could not work with all the dots they would make my eyes roll over. Still a very nice one to receive as a gift, just in case you are not wanting it. haha....good job.

Excellent color combo and love the idea of dots with florals. Great looking quilt.

I love Carpenter's Stars. Your combination of the polka dots and the blue is amazing. And the way you floated the carpenters star on the quilt looks great.

Your carpenter's star turned out beautiful. I have so much polka-dot fabric that I just do not know what to do with it. I'm so glad you posted this since I would have never thought to combine it with florals. That turned out awesome.

I found florals and polka dots in the same fabric line by Tanya Whelan and that's where I got the idea to use them together.

Very nice quilt!

sewbizgirl 11-08-2016 09:21 AM

That is beautiful.

carolynjo 11-08-2016 10:20 AM

I like contrast between the two fabrics. Good job.

roserips 11-08-2016 10:37 AM

I have one that is ready to quilt just need to get my backing together and get it sandwiched I like how you quilted yours and I think I will do the same.

Rose Bagwell 11-08-2016 11:12 AM

Beautiful contrast !

I love the Carpenters Star. The colors would be perfect for an Auburn (Alabama) University fan.

RuthiesRetreat3 11-09-2016 11:12 AM

You're right. The flora and polka dots make a nice combo. As do the orange and blue. Good job!!

twinsister2 11-11-2016 02:51 PM

I'm a polkadot fan too? This is so attractive! Nicely done!
