What a wonderful quilt! And very appropriate with all the latest celestial happenings we have had recently!

You did a great job! Beautiful quilt.

What a great quilt. That watercolor is so different forming the star. So different and so wonderful. I can see lovely feathers quilted in that star.

Maresan 06-07-2012 03:39 PM

Absolutely beautiful and the quilting, from what I can see, is just lovely.

EvelynJ 06-07-2012 03:41 PM

Wow, I love it! It just fills my soul and heart with joy. Possesses every color imaginable and will look fabulous anywhere. Will you be entering it in quilting shows? I see a Blue Ribbon in your future if you do!

I'd be glad to help, if I can. This was my first attempt, and probably breaks a pile of rules. I will say that life would have been much easier if my camera would take black & white photos (so I didn't have to keep uploading them to look at the colour values)

Very pretty. The fabrics are right on.

Throw a couple of Color Catchers in the washer with it. I just finished one that had some dark purple in it and the color catchers did the job! No stains on the white or lavender...

It's my own design. I am considering drafting the pattern, but haven't done that yet.

Quilt is currently in the washer with a bunch of colour catchers. First round, lots of colour on the catchers, and unfortunately not all the pencil markings came out of the quilt. It's in for round 2 with fresh colour catchers just in case.

Awesome is a good description, love it! :)

Here it is, fresh out of the dryer. Two cycles through the washer got all the pencil marks off (phew - I was a bit panicked after round one). The colour catchers are my new best friend. The second picture shows how they came out. The middle sheet has never been used. The others are from the first and second wash. Not a single bleed on the quilt, however. The washing even flattened the quilt out a bit - the borders are less wavy now then they were.
