Just a word........

This blog is an attempt at archiving visuals of the quilts I make. I hope you will enjoy perusing the offerings. I will also try to give a narrative description of the quilt and some thingsI learned making it. Thanks for stopping by.

Star Wars Quilt

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.
