This scrappy stars quilt crossed the finish line almost one year to the date of it starting! No I didn't plan that at all. As I was getting ready to write this post I thought I would do a quick search of old blog posts to see if I could find out when I started it. You can read that post HERE if you want to.
It's been done and waiting for pic's for a week. Too much rain to get it outside for photos, and to dark in the house to show up, so I waited it out. All scraps from the scrap bin stash. The burgundy backing is a curiosity as I do not know where that came from but it was in the donation quilt fabric cupboard.
I have done a version of this at least once before.
A quick stipple and it is done. I am getting quite a nice stack of quilts to give to my DIL's church group to hand out.
A little hand stitching is happening in the evenings here and there. This little piece was a freebie from Primrose Cottage which I started last winter and didn't get far before I wasn't in the mood to cross stitch anymore. Set it aside and picked it back up a few weeks ago. Now to decide how best to finish it. Linking to Slow Stitching Sunday

This week I am going to be busy quilting runners and wall hangings, stay tuned for their finishes. What is on your agenda?
Such pretty, rich colors! Someone will be lucky to get it. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your finish! That scrappy border sets off those stars! I'll be making progress quilting a wall hanging and piecing a mystery quilt that I started a few years ago.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI have been loving every finish you've shared lately, Vicki! I particularly love star blocks, and this one turned out great. Great scrappy border, too! I subscribed to Primrose Cottage not too long ago and realized they offer a free design every month. That's a pretty one! On my agenda this week is to finish Glowing Hearts - at least to the binding stage!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!! I really like how you offset the columns slightly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this scrappy-lovey finish. I love that only certain colours are present. It is very gender neutral. Just beautiful! Enjoy the little stitches. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, scrappy quilt. I like your cross stitch too. Maybe a pillow or a flat fold to finish it.
ReplyDeletethe star quilt really looks good!!
ReplyDeletePretty scrappy stars! Isn’t it funny how some projects take way too long to finish. Your cross stitch is ready for thanksgiving 2025. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous, Vicki. The border really finishes it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThe star quilt looks so soft and cozy! You are getting a nice pile of quilts to donate. Your cross-stitch is so sweet. I haven't done that in years.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice finish! The weather has definitely made it challenging for quilt photos.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous, Vicki. The snowman fabric instantly brought a smile to my face! How cute and how fun to finish it almost to the date of the beginning! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that quilt, Vicki. Your DIL is going to need a U-Haul to take back your generous donations. Cute cross stitch, too.
ReplyDeleteNice finish! Thanks for sharing in the Sew & Tell party.
