Two finishes

Three things to be happy about:

(1) apple butter

(2) quilt shows

(3) colorful backdrops

I got the binding sewed down on the churn dash service quilt, just have to add the label.

The ugly fabric I used for the binding seems to blend right in!

I never showed the finished version of the star quilt that I was working on a few months ago.  

Made entirely of strings, the stars were created by placement of the HST string blocks.

I added a light string border around the stars, and to avoid having a square quilt I placed one row on the sides and two at the top and bottom. 

Can you see the quilting detail?  It was quilted by Missouri Star, I can't remember the name of the pattern though.

I used their backing fabric, they have a lot to choose from.  

With so much scrappiness going on on the front, it didn't really matter what color I used so I just chose the least expensive one!

See the patriotic words?  I love em!

Done!

Sew forth and sew on
