I finished the top in January 2011 but I had another quilt on my hand quilting frame so I couldn't start quilting it until December of 2011. I just took it off the frame the other day and got the binding on it. I added an extra border around the quilt as I had wanted it larger than it was. Mine finishes in at 95 x 95 inches after I washed and dried it. I love the crinkly antique look of a quilt. This quilt took me about 260 hours of work - 132 hours of that was the quilting - the piecing took almost as long as the quilting did!!<br />

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!!<br />

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. <br />
<br />
Ladies, I have enjoyed the year. I have made many new friends through this blog. Thank you again Nedra for coordinating this. I will be close by waiting to see more finished quilts.<br />

And even that wasn't a success. So I said, "let's just take it to the bed." (pics are in the wrong order, but you get the idea)<br /><br />That is on a queen sized bed. However, the quilt that I use on this bed hangs down lower; and I quilted that on my home machine, so I spose this would be possible. I need to decide.<br /><br />What a good job done tho!

It looks like it isn't flat but I just couldn't crawl around good enough on the floor to straighten it all out. When I go to quilt group at the end of the week I will see if I can get a couple people to hold it up and I will try to get a better photo then. If I could do it again I would change some of the light color stars darker but there you go it is done and it isn't going to be changed :) It has been fun working on this quilt with all of you ladies and I will keep checking back to see the other quilts as they are finished.<br /><br />The quilt will be put in a zipper plastic bag along with the fabric strips for the binding and I will get it quilted when I can but this makes 3 large quilts waiting in line and I am only about 1/4 of the way done with the queen size quilt on my frame. At this rate this quilt won't be quilted for another 2 years!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222082864031164851.post-46315472971717773922011-01-18T06:40:00.000-08:002011-01-18T06:59:51.796-08:00Star Crazy Finished!<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>In October 2009 I had the opportunity to go to International Quilt Festival/Houston and work in The Quilt Shoppe booth for <span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.thequiltshow.com/">The Quilt Show</a></em></strong></span> with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd2x_vVTejrdbN5a3JGCgo8wW3Nexk-qUt4IRprxVZzQqhJoZGuiBawONkMkBSloUXe_xmM01EmoKdhivw7Kd43Bl90WqNo3J1QaJmGEcx73jJrrWfkxTWl_e5rs4VUqktFOqj1q-5l4w/s1600/Houston+Preview+Night+030.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563537556790753074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd2x_vVTejrdbN5a3JGCgo8wW3Nexk-qUt4IRprxVZzQqhJoZGuiBawONkMkBSloUXe_xmM01EmoKdhivw7Kd43Bl90WqNo3J1QaJmGEcx73jJrrWfkxTWl_e5rs4VUqktFOqj1q-5l4w/s400/Houston+Preview+Night+030.JPG" /></a><br />For three days I stood by <span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;"><strong><em>Star Crazy</em></strong></span>, TQS's pieced 2010 Block of The Month.<br />And fell in L.O.V.E.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0AFi_N_uUEPtlD8jQyvg8V2vNpLOayiX1Dv-tIUTYyndBNUBf3W46Gmg0ZgnK0uhglosvOan2vMQz3pYRX_ZPmZ7gHuBJE57-ZDVdjLGBgHVt7MMsM41b91lUdfz3R2tw7SoqkRJ9EZw/s1600/Houston+Day+1+038.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563537124240266546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0AFi_N_uUEPtlD8jQyvg8V2vNpLOayiX1Dv-tIUTYyndBNUBf3W46Gmg0ZgnK0uhglosvOan2vMQz3pYRX_ZPmZ7gHuBJE57-ZDVdjLGBgHVt7MMsM41b91lUdfz3R2tw7SoqkRJ9EZw/s400/Houston+Day+1+038.JPG" /></a><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#990000;">Star Crazy</span></em></strong> was designed by the extremely talented Sue Garman.<br />It was a thrill to meet Sue and to talk to her about Star Crazy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisv_2N8rYwe6sVmQE_egf29ZJdtZi4s5EJu_ISrPlrFJi4b_ZPsnxEsk4IWJjKt-D_DP92CfLvYGkLhB88nW0nhW1UgeNhe09lvXSsTsradNZHJk4tvgbHIr0NVcryHD9fudboZefShjc/s1600/Houston+Preview+Night+031.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563537644690737986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisv_2N8rYwe6sVmQE_egf29ZJdtZi4s5EJu_ISrPlrFJi4b_ZPsnxEsk4IWJjKt-D_DP92CfLvYGkLhB88nW0nhW1UgeNhe09lvXSsTsradNZHJk4tvgbHIr0NVcryHD9fudboZefShjc/s400/Houston+Preview+Night+031.JPG" /></a><br />From there an idea was born.

I have been working with the borders for the last few days, but it took a bit longer than I thought. Especially the HST-borders..... It has been an fun BOM to make, but I have to admit that sometimes I had some trouble with my motivation. So I have to thank all of my sweet co-quilters here in the group (especially Nedra who organised it all!!), you have really given me the kick in the a... that I needed, and I kind of thought that I wouldn't disappoint you by dropping out . The quilt is rather big ( a least for me it is...), so I appreciated the help from my two sweet girls at the photoshoot!</span></span><br />

Took me awhile to get all the pieces cut out, but I've finally figure out how to make the most of Alex's nap time! As long as my household stuff is done (try and do the night before after he goes to bed) I can work on sewing during his naps. With chain piecing, I flew through the half Irish chains, but I noticed my cutting wasn't always as precise as I though it was. You'd think after almost cutting this entire quilt out, I'd be better at it, but I guess I have more room to grow! I also noticed that we cut a few more white pieces than we needed, not sure why, but I know I have 1 full Irish chain block and 12 half blocks, which is what we are supposed to have! On to December's blocks!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://roosystems.com/kellyskwilts/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/November-Blocks.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-516" title="November Blocks" alt="" src="http://roosystems.com/kellyskwilts/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/November-Blocks-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://roosystems.com/kellyskwilts/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DSC_1195-50-resize.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-522" title="DSC_1195-50 resize" alt="" src="http://roosystems.com/kellyskwilts/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DSC_1195-50-resize-200x300.jpg" width="200" height="300" /></a></center><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/354/4DA711DD473527ED8E33C478B2987C66.png" /></a>Kelly Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648231231433829811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222082864031164851.post-29832341661009728372011-01-07T16:18:00.000-08:002011-01-07T16:18:58.823-08:00Felicity's quiltI finally had a minute to post a pict of Felicity's finish (back in July).<br />

If you can find the arrow you will see that I have one irish chain corner turned the wrong way. It's funny how the camera will show problems that your eye doesn't see. Looks like I will be ripping and re-sewing this evening. Otherwise I like it!<br />

Life sure got hectic during the fall. I didn't want to lose all of the good momentum of the year and let my quilt drift off into UFO land. Starting on Thanksgiving weekend I buckled down and got working on the September blocks. The next hurdle, I couldn't find the camera to take photos of the completed blocks. Oh well, I just kept moving on. So, as 2010 drew to a close yesterday, this is what my Star Crazy quilt has become (so far). <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5MrhJ4844g6mZF6HgyHfyQvRY8L7wBuK_FwZrVYrxcciepN69kvgZpQZmKlbmmf100eKaOxPgGcomUHoKdn4yrbB8pDwCHVfGHUG9gKsGcq0vwpO0OV-MRJLd_JdjAIbp50JcA_BMVmZ/s1600/DSC03500.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5MrhJ4844g6mZF6HgyHfyQvRY8L7wBuK_FwZrVYrxcciepN69kvgZpQZmKlbmmf100eKaOxPgGcomUHoKdn4yrbB8pDwCHVfGHUG9gKsGcq0vwpO0OV-MRJLd_JdjAIbp50JcA_BMVmZ/s320/DSC03500.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have all of the small star blocks done and the half square triangles for the borders too! Whew, just made it (sort of). Now I have to decide what color to make the small inner border. I don't think I want to use green like in the pattern. I think I am leaning towards a blue. I will have to wait until my local quilt shop is open (closed for the holiday today and then inventory). That will give me time to sew all of those half square triangles together for the borders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

And, it's been delightful getting to know quilters from around the world.<br />I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot of wonderful posts about Star Crazy in January.<br />Happy New Year!</div><div></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong><em>Nedra</em></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div>Nedrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11900971315865986311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222082864031164851.post-75042690297833711722010-12-29T11:26:00.000-08:002010-12-29T11:30:12.489-08:00Just Showing Off *S*<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5JD_zGF7hvsp7IDELaRXYL8J9s_gMGXxD8IhUlThj4IvM9OjxCM1HtJ_2ZJkWI_J5whKY3dWvvEwjRxyCaE0UgSRq37hBLFAgsB3TZG1uLtL-7c6GUZAPEc9sX1ySGf-p_YkrzVZlJM/s1600/4+borders.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5JD_zGF7hvsp7IDELaRXYL8J9s_gMGXxD8IhUlThj4IvM9OjxCM1HtJ_2ZJkWI_J5whKY3dWvvEwjRxyCaE0UgSRq37hBLFAgsB3TZG1uLtL-7c6GUZAPEc9sX1ySGf-p_YkrzVZlJM/s320/4+borders.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556188112807846802" border="0" /></a>This never-ending quilt has EIGHT borders! Here it is with four of them added. I'm just beginning to stitch together the 184 HST's for the sixth border.<br /><br />I think this project should have been a 15-month BOM, don't you? *L*<br /><br />Happy New Year everyone..........Sequanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08617638382237815770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222082864031164851.post-13244085046062189372010-12-22T12:20:00.001-08:002010-12-22T12:26:19.651-08:00Center Finished<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5F9ANmQkKpyaf2lNtAypQK7yA_6SC8ETad02AOZfQu_AuXjS_GT49iJBPcxj2G-KzbdjASp2rAdd1DHloYh05AzZBeRXT0TO5n71shUO5dlVeaXQwHjyb3XLXE3f42OGPb8XJ2LrpG5M/s1600/star+crazy+center.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5F9ANmQkKpyaf2lNtAypQK7yA_6SC8ETad02AOZfQu_AuXjS_GT49iJBPcxj2G-KzbdjASp2rAdd1DHloYh05AzZBeRXT0TO5n71shUO5dlVeaXQwHjyb3XLXE3f42OGPb8XJ2LrpG5M/s320/star+crazy+center.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553604360201704418" border="0" /></a>I'm thinking to myself, "who made all these blocks?" And still there are many, many more to come. *S* Sue has written a wonderful pattern tho, hasn't she?<br /><br />Something funny as I moved along with this. I found a small plastic baggie labeled "June Irish Chain" with loose pieces in it along with my other blocks. I thot they must be extra pieces or something. However, when I laid it all out there was a huge blank in a space where an Irish Chain should be. *L*<br /><br />Apparently I was so tired of making them, I thot I'd just put it aside and I'd never have to deal with it. HA! There were a few other things to fix up too and some frogging, but really not much.<br /><br />I've decided that this is such a big project, I'm just not gonna focus on things I should have done differently. I'm more amazed that it's nearing completion. Now if I can just get those HST's to all face where they should. *S*<br /><br />Happy Holidays to all of you!Sequanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08617638382237815770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222082864031164851.post-60641042726417008082010-12-13T09:09:00.000-08:002010-12-13T09:27:17.685-08:00<div>I spent 4 days tending kids at my daughter's home, and was able get December's stars and 1/2 square triangles and most of the top put together. My birthday was on Thursday, and the girls gave me the day off from babysitting, then I did not have any of the other boys on Friday, so I had a long weekend to do what I wanted. Getting the top finished was a priority, and here it is. I will bind it with the same green that is in the long strips. I have a plain Kona piece in the same green that I will use for the back. Putting the strips of 1/2 square triangles was time consuming, and making sure the went the right direction on the quilt top kept me on my toes.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGICV0Gbi63jw0i5kQtGL3nCRufAah1wp5BIRr1U2k5plh6wnKA663s__xCfKG1txHkARrlhdsPNM_7QLKWi7sHcBb9-Wtod-yd046ZvFMRr0_iKyFCrYwR4mzgUTMOTBrCMKk8fns7osI/s1600/DSC_0502.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGICV0Gbi63jw0i5kQtGL3nCRufAah1wp5BIRr1U2k5plh6wnKA663s__xCfKG1txHkARrlhdsPNM_7QLKWi7sHcBb9-Wtod-yd046ZvFMRr0_iKyFCrYwR4mzgUTMOTBrCMKk8fns7osI/s320/DSC_0502.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550216077192348962" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This project has been good for me. I tend to try to get the tops done as quickly as possible (as you probably noticed from my posting within the first week or so of each month). Having to wait each month for the directions has helped to break up my quilt making for other projects. Of course I have made several other tops during this year, and even have many of them quilted and bound. My goal is to have a queen size quilt for each grandchild, and they all get baby quilts when they are born (12 of them). </div><div style="text-align: center;">Nedra, thanks for the blog to keep us all connected with everyone else. It has been REALLY fun to follow everyones progress and ideas.</div>Ann T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12026695422817740069noreply@blogger.com
