Finished!
In December I finished my Star Storm Quilt. I finally loaded it onto the frame and got quilting.
I decided to go with the flower motif (yes, it is one of my favorites) to coordinate with the prints.
Big petals cover the quilt in a light pink thread that almost fads into the background of the fabrics.
I knew I would need a bunch of binding, so I picked the binding fabric based more on how much fabric I had than by colors. I had an abundance of this yellow.
I cut eight pieces by width-of-fabric and still came up short. I grabbed one of my 1930s prints and cut a single strip from a fat quarter to fill in that gap.
Machine-finished binding for the win. Want to see how I finish my binding? Check it out on my binding tips and tricks page.
A finished quilt is a happy quilt. You can buy a copy of the Star Storm Quilt pattern directly from the designer. Victoria Findlay Wolfe Quilts has so many great designs to try.
