I started this teal quilt about 2 years ago and finally finished it this week!!! The pattern is called, "Oh, My Stars" from Pat Sloan. It's a fun, easy pattern that you can make with charm squares or 5" blocks of fabric. You do need a design wall to put them on so you can decide where to put the "stars." You want to make sure that you don't place the star next to a fabric that is similar in color. You need the contrast to make the stars stand out.
I've made the pattern before for my son but this time I used pretty teal fabrics with flowers in them to make it more feminine for one of my girlfriends.
I made a strip of patchwork for the back of the quilt to give it some visual interest. I love how it looks going across the back of the quilt. That's the first time I've even done a pattern on the back.
I quilted it on my longarm with an overall random swirl pattern. I love how it turned out.
Here's a photo of my friend receiving her quilt. And guess what? She loved it. :)
