Ta da ... I am finished!
Made with French General fabrics (more then one line) and using the Moonlight pattern by Gerri Robinson, from her book A Cut Above. Quilted by Vicki Jenkin. (78" x 78") 
This is such a fun pattern, made with squares and stripes it was very easy to cut out and make. All the time I was cutting through I was worried that with the beautiful patterned fabrics I wouldn't get a good contrast. However I am delighted with the end result. I love two coloured quilts and red with cream is a great combination.
My favorite part of this quilt is the pieced border! My friends know that I normally use a 2 + 6 " combination border...everytime! I cannot think of another quilt where I actually pieced a border, so I am very pleased with myself. Although it felt odd to not be putting the big stars into the centre of the quilt! To ensure I didn't change the pattern I made the stars first!
The other reason to celebrate this quilt finish is the fact that it used lots of lovely gifts - my friend Ann gave me the book, Sharryn gave me a layer cake of French General and my mother gave me some FG yardage.
Happy quilting Sue.
Gorgeous quilt.... a lovely way to show it off and I love the stars around the edge... well done on a beautiful quilt

Well Sue, this is just plain gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteLove it..those are my colors!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! I really like the big stars in the border. It makes it feel like the border is a frame rather than just something added to make the quilt a bit bigger (as my borders usually are).
ReplyDeleteWow! It's stunning. FG fabrics are beautiful and worked up lovely in this fabulous design.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like your choices...such an attractive and inspiring quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty! The stars truly sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI usually border like you do, but those stars take the quilt up a notch. Great job!
Love, love, love your quilt.
