Hi everyone!
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! So far mine has been amazing!! So relaxing up here at the cottage, visiting with family, and, doing some quilting!
I was inspired by my Christmas quilts to pull out this UFO Christmas quilt that had everything done on it except one thing - yep - the hand sewing! All that had to be finished was turing the binding to the back of the quilt. Sigh, I so often leave projects here; or, at least really want to. I don't necessarily enjoy hand turning the binding to the back but I really enjoy the look and feel of it.
So I sat for a couple evenings slowly working on the binding. Why slowly? Well, I was watching movies with my family and enjoying their company; and, besides, I was in no rush! You can see the hanging sleeve and binding all sewn into place except the last few inches of binding!!!
And, there we have it! The finished Blazing Star quilt!! I am very happy with it and so happy that it is finished! Yey!! A day late sure, but, still up for the Christmas holidays!
I used the Accuquilt Blazing Star die and the pattern that comes with the die to make this quilt. It went together so nicely using the dies cuts! Next time I think that I would add some green to the quilt but I do like the red and gold ;-)
Next up I will be finishing a larger bed sized quilt binding. I might have it done tonight but I wanted to get this quilt on the wall for Boxing Day; so, I chose to put it aside and finish this one.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's project!!
