The last parts.

It's been a joy ride doing the Stars and Sprigs. I'm very happy to say that I've completed the fourth border and the last two stars that will go on the ends. I'm saving the joining to the rest of the top for another day very soon just so I can make it last that little bit longer. What a happy time I've had sewing this and really the borders were the best part, they're just so exhuberant.
I'll be back when I have the whole top together.

  4. janet it is so beautiful, the applique is wonderful! some of my friends and i were discussing this lovely quilt of yours re the quilting of it, please consider hand quilting!!!
    the intensity of the machine quilting you propose after all the beautiful hand work you have done, we feel would spoil it. just an opinion from a group of admiring quilters!

  6. Oh my gosh it is so beautiful, your colors are pefect and I will be very anxious to see it put together. Are you hand or machine quilting it?

  7. Congratulations, Janet! It's an amazing accomplishment. I love hearing about how much fun you had on the border. I don't think I ever want to do one like that--but you might change my mind.

  11. Your border does look exuberant, I cannot wait to work on a border, it would be so much fun to pick out all those fabrics. I cannot wait to see your quilt top finished. It is going to be beautiful.
