This past week I’ve been working on a quilt that I designed called “Shooting Feathered Star!.” I designed the quilt for our Sinnissippi Quilt Guild Show Contest. This year’s theme for the Quilt Show is “Out of this World.”
The fabrics I used for the quilt were all stash fabrics from a dear friend of mine, Betty Losselyong. She has recently moved to Montana and down-sized her fabric stash…most of which came to me! Yeah! What a blessing that was and what a blessing she is!
The quilt (pictured here) does NOT have its binding yet. I will be making a Faux flange binding for the quilt… that is still in the works! The colors of these shooting stars are BRIGHT! They can certainly be seen shooting across the sky!
I did a lot of ruler work on the long-arm as I quilted the quilt. I also used a lot of Free Motion Quilting… Free Motion Quilting is kind of like using the long arm machine as my “pencil” as I “draw” across the quilt. It’s a lot of fun.
Below are a series of photos which show the progress of the quilt as I was working on it.
This evening I am creating the Faux Flange binding and will attach it. I will add more photos to show you the finished quilt once that is done.
Happy Quilting! Lori
