Star Quilt Finish



Not long ago I started this Star quilt as I really wanted to make something using only fabrics from our shop Polka Dot Tea.  I wanted to make something simple that would showcase the lovely Yuwa and Kei fabrics.  I couldn't help myself, I had to add in the Michael Miller Cotton Couture as well.  Have you worked with Cotton Couture yet?  It is sublime!  It isn't your ordinary solid, the base fabric has a fine weave and it silky to the touch, the colors are rich and vibrant.  Trust me, Danielle and I only sell what we think quilters like to use, in other words, we buy what we like to use! 

I'm also moving towards using a lot more modern quilting designs for my long arm quilting business, I like all over texture with lots of geometry.  I had used this Modern Waves pattern several times and decided I needed to have one of my own quilts done in this pattern as well. 

If you like the look of these fabrics, come check our shop out.  We are also having a 15% off with the coupon code HAPPYDAYS with $20 minimum purchase until Friday the 18th.

I love this quilt Jeannette! The mix of all your gorgeous fabrics looks so beautiful - the big stars were such a good choice to show them all off. You definitely both choose such fabulous fabrics for the shop!

It's lovely. Stars and wavy lines go so well together, don't they?

Your Star Quilt is wonderful and your Modern Waves quilting pattern has captivated me. Did you do Modern Waves as free motion? Or is it a design I could purchase somewhere? Thanks

I could not get my eyes of this quilt. I like the fabrics very much and your quilting is really nice too. I was tempted to buy your fabric a while ago but I'm afraid it will cost a lot extra because I'm from the Netherlands? Is it doable do you think? Anyway I will go and look in your shop again.
