Winter Storm and Quilting is a Good Thing
On Tuesday Oklahoma received 12 inches of snow. For us, who rarely receive snow, this is a big deal. So guess what? I had an excuse to stay in and finish my Star Crazy Quilt...woohoo!!
I had to lay it on the carpet and stand on a ladder to get a picture of the entire quilt.
Here it is laying on the queen size bed in our guest room. I am going to hire someone to machine quilt it. The quilt will end up on this bed. I will be redecorating the room, painting the walls, new curtains, new bed skirt, etc using this quilt as my design inspiration.

Yours is just wonderful! *S* I don't think anyone else, at least so far, has used red and white as the dominant colors.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think many of us are thinking of sending it off for quilting. *L* It's a beast, isn't it? Some of the hand quilters are brave, but I did enough struggling in my home machine to last me.
Once you get the room all decorated, it would be wonderful to see that. You have your blog, don't you? Seems to me I read it?......I'm still in a blizzard haze here. *L*
In any event......you get a blue ribbon!
so pretty
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome quilt....looks great on the queen bed...how you ever tacked quilting a quilt this big?
ReplyDeleteKathy, I have been so excited to see a finish with your quilt. I love the variation with the red and black! Thank you so much for your participation this last year. You have added so much to our group!
ReplyDeleteLove your colours! Its great, and imagine the redecorated room with the finished quilt - I think I would have chosen that one :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I, too love the colors you chose for this quilt. The red really sets it off. Congrats on getting it finished.
ReplyDeleteAll of us had the same instructions but chose our own colors, so they all look different. This was a really fun project.
Karen, es un quilt fantástico.
ReplyDeleteEnhorabuena.
It is GLORIOUSLY beautiful - wow wow wow wow wow!! I just keep looking at it. Congratulations and keep us posted on a quilted finish and a new bedroom makeover.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous quilt!! Looks great in the room
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree...snowstorms are at least good for quilting! What a lovely top! I sit snowbound again...so perhaps something creative can happen instead of simple bedlam! ;-) Happy Stitching!
