This if officially the crinkliest quilt I've ever made! It absolutely ripples with quiltiness. I think it shrunk 6" both ways from the quilting, washing, and drying. Good thing it started out a good size!
I put the borders on Emily's similar quilt and pieced the backing today. That will be my next quilting project. Rachel has already ironed the binding for me, so I'm good to go!

This is a long-term project I'm making for my sister for Christmas. I asked her a while ago what colors/patterns/fabrics she liked and she told me this very quilt. So I cut some pieces to have beside my machine for a leader/ender project. There are 30 of the blocks with stars as shown above...only 3 have 9-patch centers--the rest have one solid 3-1/2" square piece. These finish at 6" square.
But I interrupted this quilt to make my daughter's wedding planner a quilt as a thank you. I want something that doesn't have a TON of piecing but looks like I put some time into it. Know what I mean? I am going back and forth between two right now. I want it controlled scrappy with red as the main color. Black and cream as the others. Stay tuned!
