Hey all!!
I hope that you are staying warm in this extremely cold weather!!! If you're having it LOL!
My Mom has been up visiting for the last week - yey! Anyways, I was going through my quilt closet getting out some UFO's to work on; and, she found this quilt top that I was given by my local quilt shop. It was made using one of those fabrics that has a bunch of strips that you can cut apart to make your own Jelly Rolls. Well, the Northcott rep had just done a trunk show and showed how to make a lone star quilt without piecing more than the rows using this fabric. Well, this one wasn't very successful (it was extremely wavy and the points weren't sharp etc) and they were going to throw it out so I said that I would take it to cut up. That was a few years ago. . . I never did get around to cutting it up!
Needless to say - my Mom fell in love with it and asked me to quilt it!
I loaded it on the frame and ditched the star and put feathers in the black. I had the quilting done in an evening and then started on the binding. I got the waviness out of the quilt and it lays pretty straight now - yey. The ditching in between the star pieces makes it look like it WAS actually pieced and it makes the quilt much flatter.
I have to say, now that the quilt is finished, I am surprised that I like it! I really didn't like it to start with LOL!
Another quilt out of storage and on it's way to a new home tomorrow! That makes; 2 charity lap quilts, 3 preemie quilts and a wall hanging finished and out of the house this week alone :-D Now, if I can keep up this I should be able to get through my quilt closet!

What a great finish! It's nice to get your UFO's done!
Congrats on a nice finish.
Just looking at it, I thought it was pieced.
