Carpenters Star

I love watching the Midnight Quilt Show episodes with Angela Walters. They are fun and I have learnt a lot.When Angela made the Carpenters Star quilt I thought I should also. Using bits and pieces from stash I made a blue version which came together very quickly. 

Apologies, some of the photos are a bit dark or yellow hued as they were taken indoors on my phone.

I thought would use the background fabrics the wrong around as that was my first preference, hence the two shades of grey in the photo above. The right side was settled on when it was all laid out.

I quilted it myself using my walking foot and a lot of shoving to get it through the machine. Backed it with a check I purchased for a different quilt (usually what happens) and bound it with the same fabric as the inner border.

At first I thought it would be a gift for a new baby but the feeling I got was that I should gift it to a friend. So I did. I loved making this quilt. It felt like a bright happy finish.

The final product all washed and crinkly!

Linking up with Finish It Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts and Finished or Not Friday at Busy Hands Quilts.

Happy Stitching
