This quilt has 16 stars, meaning it shouldn't take more than 16 days. But it'll probably take me all month.
Yesterday Dorian made himself comfortable on top of it and I didn't have the heart to move him. Today I sewed my second star. Pretty lazy! I also noticed that half of the tension was off and really bad. You know, the kind where you look at the back and all you have to do is pull a thread and you get a long loose string? So I pulled it out and fixed it. I'm feeling pretty good about my accomplishments this morning but can I keep it up?
I started a new applique project. I needed something to keep my quiet and my hands busy, for the board meeting tonight.
Take care, Brandie

Pretty backing for that quilt. The star looks nice with that quilting. :)
Quilting is looking really cool. Cannot wait to see how your Easter eggs turn out! :-)
I love this old quilt, and I love the quilting on the stars, I have been doodling with star designs all morning, and this was one of my favorites. Thanks for stitching it out for me. :)
Looks great. How weird is it that I think I used to have some of that backing fabric. Looks great with the top!
Your star is gorgeous and the backing is just right. Easter! Good for you to begin early. I just did some 2013 Christmas shopping and it feels really good. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...
You are doing a great job of the quilting and it's good you were able to utilise that beautiful backing fabric.
I actually like to get my machine quilting done as quickly as possible! I only have one machine set up and cannot sew when it's set up for quilting. You can do it!!
