I am Like a Star Shining Brightly

 I bought this pattern (Brightly by Cluck Cluck Sew) a few months ago and finally got around to making the quilt.  The bright fabric used on the top was gifted to me by a neighbor.  They are batik fabrics from Riley Blake Designs.  I used a white on white background and added 2 borders.  The pattern did not include borders, however, I love borders on my quilts.  The backing fabric was purchased on sale a while ago from The Stitching Room in Utah.

I machine quilted this one with an edge to edge meandering stipple using a Custard colored thread.  This one is machine bound as I was giving my poor hands a rest after harvesting the last of the potatoes & beets in the back garden area this morning.  Yes indeed it's potatoes for dinner!

I named this quilt "I am Like a Star Shining Brightly"   As I was sewing the blocks in these bright colors a Primary song kept repeating in my brain I am Like a Star Shining Brightly..

The quilt ended up 71" x 83" with the two added borders.

High Adventure

 This is the second panel from Larry Zach for QT Fabrics that I have completed.  I had 8 stars left from the prior panel quilt which worked out well for this quilt.  I used assorted fabrics from various designers from Riley Blake Designs, Penny Rose Studios, etc.  The backing is from High Adventures 2 by design by dani for Riley Blake Designs.  I machine quilted it with an edge to edge design from Urban Elementz called Lacey Leaves.  I did not want to use a dense quilting pattern so this one worked out well.  This is the second quilt I have quilted on my King Quilter longarm machine.  Giving myself some grace during the learning period.  Though I have machine quilted for over 12 years on my smaller machine the larger machine has a slightly different feel about it.  I am enjoying the learning period though. The quilt turned out to be approximately 87 1/2" x 90".  I machine bound the binding.

Approximately 87 1/2" x 90"

Called this one High Adventure after one of the fabric lines.

 I found this lovely panel at a local quilt store in Salina Utah called Creative Notions so I bought two of them.  I found some great fabrics at another local quilt store in Monroe called  Quilting4Love.  I really loved the green ombre fabric that I used in the stars.  It picked up all of the greenery in the panel.  I designed the borders to surround the panel.  The quilt ended up being 76 1/2" x 100".  I machine quilted it on my new to me King Quilter longarm using a pantograph called Lisa's Raindrops from Urban Elementz.  The quilt is backed with a soft flannel and hand bound.  I have started on the second panel but will set it aside for now as I have an order for 12 memory envelope pillows.

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely Labor Day.  It is cloudy here in central Utah and the rain has made everything so green.
