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.
