Do you like to work small?  This is a Star A Day quilt made by Pippa in her favourite antique reproduction fabrics, which she brought in recently to my Fabadashery Long Arm quilting service.  It is difficult to show on the internet, but each of the Le Moyne star blocks are just 3" square and made up of 20 pieces.  It is a great quilt to use up your scraps!

With such detailed piecing this delightful quilt deserved some special attention, so it was custom quilted with a combination of ruler work which quilted the grid and stitched around the Le Moyne stars, with a digital block pattern stitched in the alternating blocks.

The pattern is called 'Star A Day' by Karen Styles of Somerset Patchwork and has been a popular project on the internet over the past few years.  Pippa completed ninety stars for this quilt to make a 39" x 43" quilt.  It used 80/20 wadding.  

Wallflower quilt made by Pauline

On a soggy February day there is nothing more delightful than quilting a cheerful quilt.  This quilt, made by Pauline, is Missouri Star Quilt Company pattern, Wallflower.  Her choice of bright fabrics contrasting against the aqua solid background make this such a fresh-looking quilt.  You can't help but smile.

Here it is in all its glory.  It looks amazing.  It was quite a big quilt at 86" x 99" and for the quilting Pauline chose an allover digital pantograph pattern 'Ginger Flower' by Apricot Moon.  The backing fabric was a green floral pattern and we used a So Fine variegated green thread for the stitching.

Pauline plans to add a binding made up from all the colourful scraps which will make a lovely finishing touch to the quilt.
