StarBurst Table Topper Quilted!

I was in the mood for some quilting yesterday, so I decided to quilt the Star Burst Table Topper, which I finished sewing together a couple weeks ago. 

I used a small left over piece of Pellon 80/20 batting in the middle. I was looking for something light weight and would puff up in some areas of the quilt.

I want to use feathers in this table topper and practice a little more on my Quilt Path automated quilting system, so I found Amish Feathers pattern set at Digi-Tech Patterns. Which was perfect for this quilt top.

I also used a little free handing in the lighter color of the checker board to make the darker color pop out.  I also used used my rulers and put diagonal lines in the red triangles.

In the larger triangles, i put the Amish Feathers to fill the area.   I also used the same feathers in the corners squares by just dividing the square in half and reversing them.


The same feathers were used in the borders.  I put 4 triangles in the borders and joined them.  

The StarBurst Table Topper will now get binding on it today and soon I can put on my dinner room table.






Also Today, I will be starting to work on assembling the Women of Courage quilt top.

Hope you all have a great Sewing Day!

Inventory Stash!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mine went to fast it seems like.  Saturday, my husband had to work so I spent the day adding products and content to the new site.  We are very close to finishing now,  I found a few bugs to be fixed but we are in the home stretch.  Sunday, was a productive day in the house, cleaning wise,  about every room got a cleaning except for my oldest son, Patrick's room.  He is response able to clean his room.  Felt great to get all that done.  I even did a little clean and organization in the sewing room. Time to get back in there and make it unclean again. 

The end of last week, I  finished a new little wall hanging kit that I pick up about a year ago at the Virginia Quilt Show, in Hampton.  This one will be for my sewing room, once i get it quilted and binded. The kit comes from Block Party Studios, it came a panel and fabric.  I just need to get the backing, I will look for that in my stash. 
 
It is started with this panel, which I love.  Then they have you make star block, stack of fabric, spool blocks and flying geese. 


 

The stack of fabric under the star block, is foundation piecing on a piece of muslin.  It was very interesting to make doing it that way. But it definitely came out cute.  I will add some color and life to my white walls in the sewing room.


Today, I'm planning to get some sewing done.  I got a new block for the Kansas City Star BOM, i will be doing.  I'm still working on how I want to quilt the Star Burst table topper.  I'm leaning toward feathers.  So, I may be quilting on that this afternoon. 

Have a Great Monday, hope you all can do some sewing and quilting today!

Star Burst Table Top!

The other day after I finished, my 2013 Designer of Mystery Block, I was looking for something easy and quick to do for the rest of the day.  I found my a kit that I picked up from one of the shops on the Quilt Quest Shop Hop. So, I decided to make a quick new Table Topper for my kitchen table.

The pattern comes from Perkins Dry Goods, and is called "Star Burst Topper"  it measures at 33" x 33".  The pattern came with the kit that I got from the store and it even had the backing and binding fabric.  I love that when store add the backing to the kits, but the only thing is was just almost to short for the use on my longarm, but I will make it work.

The middle of the topper looks like this above,  I love the colors that are in this little quilt. 

Isn't this beautiful table top quilt!  I love the colors, I can't wait to get this quilted.  I just need to decide how, I'm going to quilt it,  I'm leaning toward feathers, what do you think?

Enjoy your Friday, and your weekend,

Tina
