    Default Mexican Star finally quilted

    Hi all! I needed to get this done and I wanted to quilt it like one Eleanor Burns had made. I started out trying to ruler quilt but about 3 maybe 4 white blocks done I thought I couldn’t do anymore, my wrist was hurting so bad. So, I started quilting free hand, without the ruler. Some stitching lines are better than others, but overall, it’s not bad. I do like the quilting showing on the back. The quilt is soft but heavy. It’s about 75 x 95. I used high loft batting.

    Your quilting is great Toogie! I can't tell you didn't use that ruler on all of this beautiful quilt.

    I really like this quilt. The colorway you used is beautiful. You say it's an Eleanor Burns pattern?
