Finally a finish!

 Hello Everyone,

It seems I blinked, and the Summer has gone. Although the weather hasn't taken the hint just now. We have had a few rain storms and cooler weather, on and off, so that is nice. I'm ready for Fall, for cooler temps, wearing sweaters, eating hot soups and stews. 

I finally have a large finish to show you. I have a few more tops to show off as well. This is what I've been doing crafty wise in my little part of the world. Not a lot, as I'm still not up to par health wise. But at least I can still do some sewing.

This is a Swap that my online quilt group and I did in the Spring. I made the bird block for everyone and these are the blocks I got in return. Isn't it sweet?

And this is the Summer mystery quilt Heather does for us occasionally. This is a fun quilt, so bright and cheerful.

And heeereee is my finish :) This is Irish Stars by Wedding Dress Blue. Mine is a large Queen sized, haven't got the exact dimensions, but it hangs over my queen sized mattress a few inches on each side.

This is the yummy back. I bought it thru Missouri star quilt company on one of their excellent sales.

I messed up with my quilting design though 😥. It was supposed to be an orange peel design, that goes along the seams like this:

But instead, I did two whole rows, diagonally, like this:

I was NOT going to take out those two lines. You can see them if you look in the pictures where the sun is shining on the quilt. So, I am just pretending they are leaves and did all the squares that way 😁. I quilted large flowers in the stars and a mix of flowers and leaves along the border.

This pattern is awesome as it uses up lots of scraps. I used my favorite Sweet Water fabric, Sunkissed, for the background stars. You can't tell in the photos mostly, but the fabric has different colors in it, it's not just an off white solid. There is pinks, oranges and grays mostly. 

So that is what I've been up to over the Summer. And now it's on to Christmas projects!

Thanks for stopping by,

Dorian
