Before we get started on this year.....Mary's Star in the Garden

I thought you might like to see this quilt from 2012. The quilt belongs to Mary of Patchwork Creations  It's a sample from a class that Mary and Karen taught a while ago and has been waiting to be quilted.


There was lots of open space for the quilting especially in those borders, we were both pleased with the finished result......
Mary's own batting, I used Aurifil Invisifil thread for the SiD and outline around the applique, Glide in cream everywhere except the green star and border strip and the blue inner triangles of the star.....
Quilt measures 84" x 84"...
