Star and Pinwheel quilt for a friend
My dear friend, Mary, whom I have known for 65 yrs. lost her husband of 37 yrs. last month. We only get to see each other, at the most, once a year as we live in different states, so I sent her a quilt hug.
Pattern is from MSQC, fabric is Kansas Troubles, batting is 80/20, and backing is Minky.
Quilting is free hand on my Tiara II.

I love everything about this quilt. The fabrics are colors I like, the quilt pattern can’t be beat with stars AND pinwheels but to top it off is the gorgeous quilting. It’s hard for me to comprehend it’s free hand quilting. My you are good!

Your quilt is gorgeous. Great choices of colors and fabrics. And the quilting is wonderful. I owned a Tiara for years. How did you ever quilt that large a quilt, with Minky backing yet, on a Tiara? You must have arm and shoulder muscles like a weight lifter. And that pattern! Did you mark it first? Do you have a stitch regulator?
Absolutely lovely work all around.
