back from the LAQ

Now that I have my quilts back from Leeanne at quiltmekiwi 
I'm on another finishing binge!
This weekend I've been busy making a start on adding bindings.


First up, my 'star hollow' quilt in pastels
I love how those fun wonky stars give it just a sprinkle twinkle of organic freedom!















quilt details:

Pattern: a sweet (free) pattern/tutorial Star Hollow Quilt by Jolene of @blueelephantstitches 
Maker: moi
Fabric: For this wonky star🌟 quilt I started out with a bunch of summery delicate florals in various medium shades. I added in other favourite florals from my stash - more Liberties, AGF & Tilda - and I also added a good dose of solids into the mix.
Backing: pieced from pink leftovers
Quilting: E2E straight lines
Binding: a Kaffe multi-stripe in matching pastels 
Quilt measurements: 46" x 54".

I love those star blocks! They're so pretty with the center square matching the outer fabric, and those lovely florals, too. Beautiful finish, Linda!

That border is perfect and brings out the best from all the stars!

LOVE this binding choice, perfect colours and the stripes work so well with the straight line quilting.
