Evan wanted a "StarWars" quilt. I think I came up with what I hope will be right up his alley. I became an expert paper piecer putting this one together. I really love how all the star blocks look. I have to admit, I thought the material I used for the sashings was blue. It wasn't until Amy was helping me sandwhich it that I learned it was purple. I knew I loved that material for some reason! The quilting was a little difficult because I decided to follow the patterning in each block. But I do like the affect. I quilted a loopy line and star pattern in the last border. I was really glad I decided to use black thread on the top because although you can see it, it blends nicely.
I also used a product called Golden Threads Quilting Paper in the last border. I LOVE IT!!! And, would highly recommend it to anyone who does any amount of quilting. It tears away perfectly. It would be great for hand quilters too. I just can't say enough about it. The quilt was finished and delivered 17 January 2011.
