This quilt was started in February this year and is another that was abandoned, partly due to time and partly due to being undecided about the next border.
I was really pleased with it when I first made it so I do really want to get it to the quilting stage as it will be great for practising my machine quilting and also it will make a great quilt for a child. It would be lovely to have some quilts 'in hand' for when a gift is needed.
The stars are a Bonnie Hunter design from quiltville.com, they are made from a selection of 2 inch squares.I was really pleased with it when I first made it so I do really want to get it to the quilting stage as it will be great for practising my machine quilting and also it will make a great quilt for a child.

This was where I had got to in February and stopped. This was 25 inches square. First I decided I wanted a rectangular quilt not a square.
So I have added sections to each end, this now measures approx 25 x 33 inches. Next border coming soon! Luckily I have found all the fabrics I was using!

I'm so happy for you Janet, you seem to have taken to quilting and you have an eye for it....
Whereas me... no hope! I don't like anything I do and it definitely never looks as good as anything you do!I'm depressed, big time!! My Maverick Squares is stuffed in a box...
Janet this quilt is reallt cute. I love how your color selection all blends so well together,
WOW! This is a bright beauty! TTFN ~Marydon
someone will just love this beautiful gift., I had one that started 'small' and grew and grew it fits a king bed now, (think it is time to stop adding borders? lol) cw
I love your quilt Janet. The additions on the end make it. They add interest I think. A really lovely design.
