Hunter's Star Quilt Has Been Gifted!!

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day! We did, it was very quiet and we just kind of did whatever we wanted to do... all day long! We definitely don't get days like that too often.

One of the main things that I wanted to share with you was the Hunter's Star (a.k.a. Hot Flash) was given to my daughter!! It is quilted and the binding is applied by machine on the one side. Only the hand sewing remains.

Here is my sweet daughter with her new quilt. She loved it! I am so glad too.

Here is the back. I pieced it with more black and white fabrics and four different blue and teal fabrics. In the middle of the backing you can see the label that I pieced right into the backing. This way it will always be there.

This took a team to hold up for a full shot. Here are the details:

~the quilt measures 91 X 91

~I used Quilter's Dream White Cotton Supreme batting.

~I quilted it with an edge to edge design with hearts and swirls and white thread.

~the pattern is Hot Flash and can be found here

~tools used were Petite Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Ruler and the Tucker Trimmer which can be found here.

~I will finish the binding over the next week so that it can go on her bed. More pictures to come then.

Until Next Time...

Hunter's Star Quilt Has Been Gifted!!

I Think My Hot Flash Is Just About DONE!!

Hello Everyone,

Yes, it is true, I am almost done with Hot Flash!! Although I may end up naming it something else. Now mind you my daughter's birthday is only 2 days away, so it most likely will be ready for Christmas and not her birthday. I don't think she will mind.

This weekend, I applied the pieced borders and really love the way it looks. I just need to add one more plain border. It will be a black with a white background.

These quarter square/half square triangle combo units were easy peasy using the Tucker Trimmer. They really turned out perfect. My daughter picked out the blue and teal fabrics without knowing what I was going to do with them. Well, I guess she knew that I would be making some kind of quilt.

I just love how the saturated color of the blues and teals "POP" against the black and white. What do you think?

A closer look at the combo units really show how nicely they work up.

I think that she will be pleased even though it isn't her Union Jack Flag quilt (that she also asked for). That will come next...

You can see that you can mix different kinds of fabric. I always do. I used a mix of batiks and regular quilting cotton prints in this quilt. Using batiks is always a pleasure, they press so nicely and are always saturated in color.

I just couldn't pass up putting the quilt on the bed to see how it would look. Albeit, it is isn't her bed.

Recap on what I used to create this quilt:

1. Petite Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Ruler.

2. Black and white fabrics from my stash and shop.

3. Batiks from my stash and shop.

4. Tucker Trimmer.

6. Hot Flash Pattern.

So if you are interested in making one of these beauties, you can find everything you need in my shop!! Plus, the black and white fabrics are on sale for this week only for $7.75 per yard.

Hopefully next time you see this quilt it will be quilted and bound. I think I will do a fairly simple pieced backing too. Do you think I can have it all done by Christmas??

Until Next Time....
