This is my first star Strata topper. I think I did pretty good choosing colors - its for fall. I do have one question for those of you who've made one. How did you bind yours? Did you do a pillow case method and not bind it or did you quilt it and then do a regular binding on it?
|
Very pretty! I did the pillowcase thing on the ones I made. I really enjoyed making them. They all have such a different look to them, but all are pretty. Blessings to all. Kathryn
|
That's pretty.
|
Ohhhh....that is just beautiful. I love the warm fall colors. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
|
Very pretty
|
Love it!! Very pretty. :)
|
I haven't made one yet, but have fabrics to make a C'mas one. Planning to do the pillowcase method to finish it...seems like an easy finish for this one.
I love the colours you have used...very striking!! Patti |
It is really fun to see everyone's combinations! I think you nailed Fall.
|
What I did was put the warm and natural batting down first, then the backing and the star spin on top of the batting, right sides together, Then sew around the star spin and leave an opening for turning. The opening needs to be just large enough to put yor hand in. Then turn it right side out and poke out the corners and then hand sew the opening closed. Then you can put a few pins in it and then go ahead and quilt it. I used invisible thread and just quilted from corner to corner. I have mine on the table also. your is so pretty with the green in it. Mine has some brown in it and my mother wants one for Christmas, but I'm not sure what colors she wants. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

You can go to search at the top of the page and put in
Star Strata to find it. |
Lovely!
|
You can get it here
http://www.quiltpatchlane.com/cgi-bi...es=0&lastmenu= I got the pattern a few weeks ago, not game enough to start it yet! |
Very pretty!
|
A great pattern is by Jae's Attic. She calls it Crazy Eight Strip Teaser-A Table Topper. Directions are really good, and has color pictures.
The web site is: www.sewwhat-quilting.com |
Wow! Just Stunning! Love the fabrics as well. Great job!
Blessings, MaryAnna |
Really pretty! This is on my to-do list too (tho it looks a bit intimidating)
|
Good for you. Very lovely. I just bought the pattern and the first paragraph boggled my mind. Not sure I am up for this yet. Maybe after Christmas gifts are done.

Awesome! Love the colors.
|
Your topper turned out so nice............. I am looking forward to making one... Just need to find extra time.. I know that is a problem for most quilters.
Hope mine turns out as nice as yours. |
I did regular binding - its a lot of pivoting but was not all that difficult (and I was a new quilter/sewer at the time).
Your colors are gorgeous. |
Beautiful!!!
|
What is the pillowcase method? I have not heard of this.

Thanks, I thought that's what it probably was. Just never heard a name for it.
