I am going to share some of the quilts I have finished while I didn't blog.
One of them is this huge quilt, it was finished in 2014.
I had wanted a star quilt for a long time, and also a new quilt for my bed - so a combination of the two seemed like a good idea.
I pieced all the stars and stitched them into two panels of 8 stars
Working on the 2 panels, instead of the entire quilt, made everything a lot easier. I could quilt it on my domestic machine without too much hazzle.
I attached the 2 panels by using a quilt-as-you-go method. I just googled it, and read a few how-to's and did what made the most sense to me.
It fits my bed, and I am really happy with how it turned out.
You can see on the backing, that I have stitched the 2 panels together right across the middle of the quilt.
The quilt-as-you-go method wasn't bad. I'd do it again. if I were to make another big quilt like this.

That is a lovely color palette! I like how the ocher warms the whole thing up. And congratulations on the machine quilting, too, it's something I'd like to learn someday.
