Memories from July 2013...........
Just 9 years ago I started this quilt...........this was the fabric pull made at my Cottage on the Hill Retreat....post here and here.......It was going to be 4 stars but I have a tall son even then so I decided to make it longer by making 6 stars.............it was going to go on a king single bed but drought delayed that and then we were given a queen bed...........
the quilt got forgotten about and suddenly in 2016 according to this post I got the top together......
and I thought afterwards that maybe I should have added another row of stars so it would fit the bigger bed..............oh too late I would have had to unpick all the squares surrounding the blocks and I was happy with what I had that was that...............into the pile of finished tops it went to wait...........
But as you know a few months ago I started the crazy binding faze and sent off some more tops for quilting.......these are now all completed..........plus the one I did for Fairy Girl last week so that's 16 quilts finished this year.........besides this one I need to show you 6 more.......I need to get some photos done...........I just used Mr Chooky today on the Chookshed deck as it was easy and this quilt wasn't to big to hold up............
you can see some of the quilting here..............
My absolutely favourite colour combination........in the perfect tones too.............
these blocks are 24inchs
And here it is.........all grown up and ready to keep someone warm............
I finished it today in my short zoom session.......a couple popped in....
it was nice to talk to someone but OMG I was busted after that.......
do something then go lay down again.........

Today I moved back into the house..........seems a little weird as I have not been in for nearly 2 weeks with being away for work prior to getting covid.......
Very sad to have spent so much time in the Chookshed and basically sewn nothing..........
Just laid there and looked at fabric, quilts, books etc
have a great week......
