The Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by Amy Ellis from Amy's Creative Side is on again! I am entering my Lone Star quilt in the Large Quilts category.
I started piecing this quilt in June 2013 and finished the top by the end of July. I had a go at quilting it, but didn't like the result and put it away. I finally picked it up again two years (!) later and this time I did finish it. The binding was hand-stitched on during a short holiday in Caloundra, a sea-side town north of Brisbane, so I went for a celebratory photo shoot there:
This quilt has been on our bed ever since it was finished. I love it and am so glad that I did not give up on it after all!
I originally blogged about this quilt here. Stay tuned for my second entry into the Bloggers Quilt Festival!

A red and white lone star has always been on my list! Yours looks so precise and wonderful! Good luck!
Absolutely gorgeous!
It is a stunning classic Linda. So good to have it finished and in use where you can enjoy it every day.
Beautiful quilt! My hat is off to you for finishing the top in a month! WOW!! Sometimes tops have to age before they are quilted ;) It is gorgeous!
