A New Quilt~

Last week I spent some time quilting a top I had been 'storing'. :-o  I just quilted an all-over stars and loops design for this one, and I let hubby choose the backing since this is kinda 'his quilt'. ;-)



This is actually the 2011 HGTV BOM and we called it 'Stars in the Barn Door'. I drew up all the 6 inch blocks in my EQ7 program and presented them every month, then drew up the way I wanted to finish my quilt too.  I love how it turned out (and hubby does too) ;-)



The quilt measures 90.5 x 90.5 inches.
The backing is from Connecting Threads. :-)






This is my first patriotic quilt, but it won't be the last! I love decorating the house for holidays!

Thanks for stopping by~
Until next time
Happy Quilting!!

Pretty, pretty, pretty . . . and I love the name you gave it. Patriotic quilts always catch my eye, but I have a real love of star blocks. Using them inside the barn door block is a great idea.

A great quilt and how nice that hubby now has his own quilt. I made a patriotic one too. Several years ago, hubby liked it so much, it too became his quilt. And believe me when I say he let's everyone that its HIS quilt.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
