"Starshine & Rainbows" completed top!
 

Thank you all so much for your compliments, suggestions, and encouragement! I finished the top and I must say, I am very very happy with it! This is my first-ever-completed quilt top.

I decided to use a royal blue mottled fabric from Moda for the sashing. It's the color I had in mind all along, so when I found it at my LQS, I knew it was meant to be. Then, I wanted to add something at the corners of each block, and found this adorable PP block called Geometry on Quilters Cache. It's a 4" block, but I re-sized it to 3" and used all the colors in the quilt. I think it ties everything together nicely. Finally, I wanted to cap the whole thing off with a little more of the rainbow colors, so I pieced a strip of each color together on the diagonal and bordered the whole quilt. I love it!!!

I never expected anything I made myself to turn out so well. There was A LOT of remeasuring and (re-cutting :rolleyes:) as I worked my way through the mathematical calculations, since I didn't have a pattern or instructions to work with. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Thanks again!

For your first quilt top completed, I would say you are a totally natural quilter. I love all of your blocks and how you laid them out with the corner stones in the sashing! You did a super job!

turn out wonderful

Totally awesome! Love all the colors.

What a wonderful quilt. How did you PP the corner stones and is there a pattern that you used we could see?

You are a natural! This is a beautiful quilt. Your color choices and pattern are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

It is a beautiful quilt. Love your colors and the PP blocks added the extra bling to the quilt.

Great job! You certainly have an eye for design.....beautiful :thumbup:

Wow - I love the colors and the the whole complete top - This is a great first top - no one would guess that you are new at this - Can't wait to see what else you have in store for your quilts. Great job.

That came out really well. You're a natural!

Very nice, love the rainbow colors!

Very colorful great job

you should be very proud of this quilt....I can follow a pattern with the best of them but can't design worth a darn. I've been quilting for 6 years and still struggle with the math (I've never been good at math), so I try to stick to something printed out for me. This is a wonderfully designed and executed quilt and beats anything I've made in all those years.

That Navy border really maded it pop! It looks like a puzzle and hard to put together. Great Job!!!

Love it, it's so cheery =)

Congratulations!! On a beautiful quilt very well done!!!! You ARE a natural with that quilt as your first one completed. The blue sashing is absolutely perfect!!! (And I was one who thought black would be great) LOL
