The quilt I'm posting today is a quilt I finished this past summer, but I finished the quilt top way back in 2017. I left it for a year and half because we were looking to move and I was trying to not spend extra money on sewing...so I did my quilting from my stash, and waited to send my quilts out to be quilted until we had moved. I know quilting doesn't cost a ton of money, but I was really trying hard to not spend on my hobby while we were looking/building. Of course, my spending has gone into hyperdrive since we moved in, but we won't talk about that here... ;-)
This was a really fun quilt, though. It was a summer sampler project put on by Katie Blakesly, Lee Heinrich and Faith Jones. They do them annually and if I weren't bogged down with so many other projects, I'd probably sign up every year. That year, the theme was stars, and I love star blocks, so I added it to my list and did it. I kept up pretty well, although the finishing blocks took me a while. I wish they had released those instructions first so you could gradually work on them as you went. Oh well...it's not like I really needed to finish them quickly, as the top sat around for a year and a half before it got quilted...
I did redo one block and there are one or two others that I could have redone, but I really love how it turned out. I backed it with a print I picked up at a store that was closing for just a few dollars a yard. It was the perfect colors and I really love how it looks. But you'll have to take my word for it because I didn't get a picture of the back. Sorry. :)
