retro sawtooth stars


And here's my last finish for 2023, retro sawtooth stars quilt.
I love how all these vibrant colours mixed up together, sure to bring the sunshine into any home.
Finished quilt measures 68" x 58".







I sent this quilt up to Leeanne @ quiltmekiwi for some e2e quilting. 
I usually have a clear idea of how I want my projects quilted, 
and the 'Compass Star' panto was a sure winner giving this quilt lots of texture. 








- "mix and match" is a super idea, using each fabric 3 times within the sawtooth star blocks. 
I used the #brightstarquilt pattern as my starting point, from Christine @clvlasic









Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays,
Linda

  10. Great quilt! What a delightful group of prints. I especially like the ones with red flowers, first row second block, and fourth row first and last blocks. And the border print with gold background and red roses is gorgeous!

  12. A very pretty quilt!Linda! I would have found the mustard colour difficult to work with but your choices of colours and fabrics are fabulous.

  13. How lovely! It's pretty, fresh, bright... and I especially like the picture of it with the white wrought-iron furniture. That seems to best-suit the quilt style. I can also picture your quilt across a bed with white iron head and foot rails. Just perfect. I'm happy you finished your last 2023 quilt. Mine is still in the works, but as I'm sewing binding now, it will be a finish before year's end. Merry Christmas!
