Top sewn!!...............



Here it the sewn top.  I love the texture that the Australian fabrics have with all of their little dots.  It is close to 59” x 70” and all of the edges are bias so I’m not sure what the finished size will be.  I think I should add a border to stabilize it so I’ll look today to see what I have that would not take away from the pieced blocks.  I have already staystitched but that isn’t enough to keep the edges straight but it will keep them from stretching.

 Take a look at the new sign up form on the right side bar of my blog.  I'll be opening a new store soon and will be offering quilts, quilt tops, fabric kits and more.  I'd love for you to be first in line when the store opens.

    I know you are happy with this! Love how the shimmer takes center stage and makes you hunt for the Hunter Stars....lol. It looks good with a border but know it needs one for stability.

    Magnificent! And to have it all sewn together so quickly is doubly so.

    Lovely, and so good to know you are back sewing again. A border, my pick would... naturally... be a blue from one of the blocks in the top half, but your eye will find the right colour and fabric so easily.

    Oh Wanda ~. Hunter Star is magnificent, it just sparkles on my screen. I agree those Australian fabrics are fascinating and had to be fun to work with. This piece is one grand come back, you sure out did yourself.
