    Default Final Frontier-my first Star Quilt Finished!

    I posted the top to this quilt when I finished piecing it. It took me a while to decide on how I wanted to quilt it so even though the top was finished in March, I only finished the whole thing about 10 days ago. The back is the black I originally bought for the piecing, but I decided to use a starry black from my stash instead. So there wasn't quite enough for the entire back, causing me to use a stash fabric (that I Love) in the center of the back. I'm very pleased with this quilt, since it's the first star quilt I've ever made. Being uncertain about how to paper piece, I didn't really use that technique. I used the paper pieces to cut the fabric, allowing the 1/4" seam with each cut. My points would probably turn out more precise if I had paper-pieced the correct way, but they look pretty good to me. As long as the quilting police don't come look at it, I'm happy with it.

    Beautiful quilt....love the colors. I'm very impressed that you didn't paper piece it. Points look perfect to me. I can see why you are very pleased with it. Thanks for sharing the finished results with us.
