Eight Pointed Star Quilt

I have just had great fun quilting this little Eight Pointed Star Quilt for my customer Cheryl.  Cheryl has made this special quilt for her sister who is seriously ill - it will hopefully be a quilt her sister will be able to take along to hospital and take comfort from when at home.


Cheryl has hand-pieced the stars using fabrics from her stash including some of her favourite Liberty fabrics.  I have quilted the quilt with a feather border, continuous curves in the points of the stars and line-dancing and swirls on the plain fabrics.  I managed to quilt each block continuously - the quilting really seemed to flow.  I did change colour on each block to match the plain background fabrics.


The line-dancing on the plain fabrics has made a secondary design where the four corners of the blocks meet.


Thanks for letting me quilt this quilt Cheryl - I hope your sister loves it and that is brings her joy and comfort.
