First customer quilt of 2012

I just finished this lovely star quilt that was designed and pieced by my friend, Mary. i know she has a name for it....but i just can't think of it. i think of it as a floral centered star....not too original. LOL

She always has lovely fabrics that go together well...they are not fabrics that i would have chosen myself...i can't seem to pull them together like that... she has the knack.

She showed us how to do these stars one time in class. but mine never got all put together. i think i did 1 or 2 of them.

I kept the quilting rather simple...the stars got SID and a star in the center.

The background looked like circles to me. it took me a while to figure out how to quilt that concept...but i think this worked. used circle templates.

The inside border got feathers and the outside border got a 4 tier swag with 1 more swag between the original 4.

The back was one large piece...which i always like. and she let me cut the selvages off when i was through quilting. how cool is that. yards of selvages. thanks Mary

Now the rest of the month will be 3 or 4 of mine and 1 more customer quilt...for the church. gonna be a busy month.
