I finally got the fourth row on this quilt using Island Batik fabrics. Fits nicely on a queen size bed.
Well....I believe I am getting kinda lazy, I am wondering if I should just put the last border on and forget it or should I continue on making it big enough for my king size bed? Hummmm so that is the question of the day.
I will say that this fabric is soooooooooooooo awesome. This picture does not do it justice. also..if you look in the middle of the stars, no middle is the same. It is amazing what one can do with half squares.

On a side note: My aunt turns 100 tomorrow and she doesn't even look like it. She still lives in her own home and for the most part has her senses about her.
Beautiful quilt Barb! And Happy birthday to your aunt. My FIL turned 95 this year and it's amazing to me that he has been alive for almost 100 years. Enjoy the birthday. I'm sure there will be lots of celebrating.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you need a King, and especially because it's of your favorite fabrics, you should enlarge it. Otherwise, it's beautiful as is. :) congrats to your aunt! My Mom is 95 and still in her own home too. Amazingly strong women!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. And happy birthday to your aunt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing... well done.. and happy happy birthday to your aunt... an amazing milestone...

Love your quilt. Pink and orange are my favorites. How nice to hear about your aunt. And she still lives alone! Wonderful for her. A very happy birthday to her!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your aunt. Love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, love batiks, you can't go wrong using them.
ReplyDeleteThe size choice is yours, but it is a lovely quilt and if you want to put it on your king size bed, you should make it larger.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing the centers of all the stars differently. Great job!
Love that quilt!
ReplyDeleteI get to that point when you love a quilt but want to be done. Maybe come back to it you don't have to decide right away do you?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. Your points look great. Happy happy to your aunt.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have a king sized bed but no quilt for it. Someday...
ReplyDeleteMy MIL will turn 96 in January. She still lives in her own apartment in a senior retirement home but is getting very forgetful of late. Still completely mobile and dresses for her daily activities including an exercise class!
Pretty quilt! It sounds like you have some amazing genes in your family--happy birthday to your aunt!
ReplyDeleteBarb your quilt is simply beautiful. I've made a few king sized quilts but oh my goodness are they heavy when finished! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilt. Love stars. How wonderful for your Aunt. We have only one Aunt still with us, Aunt Dot at 94.
