TGIFF never felt so sweet. Oh. My. Stars.

This border of stars 



which coordinates with the columns of oak-leaves



means I have finally - FINALLY - finished the quilting on my Sapphire Stars. 

Yes, I'm being a brat putting up just a teaser. This isn't 100% finished, as it needs trimming, binding, and a little tail-tucking attention. I'll share it "for real" next Friday.

Some of the middle again, just for kicks:



I can't tell you how very relieved I feel. The let-up is making me profoundly sleepy. I never keep a quilt on the priority spot that long unless it's a customer quilt. Without a paycheck, it sorely taxes my supply of mojo, and I have been chafing at the bit the last few days with this work. But this will be a special QOV for my father-in-law, so I wanted it finished and made it my OMG for January instead of alotting it 2 or 3 months of on again/off again attention.

TGIFF is at Vera's this week.
Whoop! Whoop! at Sarah's

  3. It's amazing! I can't imagine doing that much quilting on any quilt. My QOVs get the all over stars and loops. The oak leaves make me laugh - my husband hates his.

  6. You did a fantastic job. I love how your quilted the center and the gray sashing parts. Wish I could say mine was done. I was with Kevin yesterday for the QOV top we did, and I know he will love your quilt too.

  8. Your quilting is GORGEOUS, Lynette! I love those stars and leaves. Tail-tucking? Does that mean you hand knot your threads and bury the thread tails in your quilts?
