The Square Stars quilt that the NURTURE circle ladies made is finally done! The ladies made these blocks back in October and I assembled and quilted them.
It's taken this long because I decided first to make the quilt larger with some blank blocks, and then to do a more complicated quilting design.
I did some stitch in the ditch first (actually it's more like stitch around the ditch, but who's looking that close). Then I filled in the white crosses with a tight stipple and continued that into negative space.
With the tight stipple I could only do about one and a half crosses per bobbin, so needless to say it took a while and I stretched it out over several days to keep from getting worn out.
I was happy to find the perfect backing in my donated fabrics. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to make this quilt!

Ooo, stippled ghost blocks! I love it! This is such a neat pattern with all the negative space. Great finish, Kat :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pattern, and I love your color scheme. You can never go wrong with lots of scrappy low volume negative space.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! This will surely be loved and appreciated. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see what you are up, this is a great setting for these blocks.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's really pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern there with great colors. I sent my string blocks out to you this week, I wasn't able to finish as many as I hoped. I hope you will be able to use them!
ReplyDeleteYour layout with the additional blocks is really, really interesting -- much more so than if it was just a regular grid of all the same blocks. Love it!!
ReplyDeletedo good. Stitches did GOOD... and you did, too!!!
