W.I.P. Wednesday - Quilting the stars

Last Sunday finally I got the outline quilting done for my Star Quilt.
Just outline quilting using ruler on long arm

Love the cross block

Hello Petal Kids playing on the back
I still feel these stars need little bit of pop. Hmmm... something is missing.  May be I might add a border. I just can't let anything go.....I right I feel like Bob Ross(Create Channel on PBS) ;).
Do you think  border would give a pop to the stars?

Before you go a sneak peak of my recently acquired stash, Moda's Hello Petal FQs from Bits N Pieces. Now I know why they call "March Madness"...
Hello Petal by Aneela Hoey
Aneela Hoey on her blog has tons of great pictures of the fabrics and projects made from Hello Petal. I just love everything she designs.

Come back later to see more of recent buys ;). Why bother to take any fabric resolution ;)

    The stars quilt is gorgeous. Are you going to finish in time for the Pantone challenge? Bits N Pieces got Hello Petal?! I miss that store already - I bought a full FQ pack because I couldn't resist. Charlotte loves it too. I can't wait to see what you do with yours.

    I love your stars quilt! I actually love the fact that is is on the simple side--those stars pop on their own! I love your reference to Bob Ross--totally made me chuckle! Whatever you decide to do-I think it will be lovely!

    Would love for you to stop by tomorrow and link this up to Fabric Frenzy Friday!

I have been wanting to make ruffles for a while and had one particular pillow in mind, V & Co's white ruffle pillow . I made mine with white Kona Cotton. The strips for the ruffles are 1.5inches. The finished pillow cover is 12"x18". Kona Honey Buns - 1.5inch strips My Little Quilty Model Oh..Ruffles...Ruffles... This time around I even got to add a zipper. Yay for me!

Ruffles smiling for the camera - isn't that too bright ;) ? Th

Here are some of pictures of the Paisley FMQ on my Shades of Blue quilt: Paisley FMQ with Circles - you see on the first block I tried to mix paisley with circles Paisley FMQ Paisley FMQ The past week was really productive for me. Finally my sewing machine started behaving and the quilting went really smooth. I almost quilted away 3 blocks. Just 2 more blocks to quilt approximately. I can't wait to finish this quilt soon. I was in a flow this week with FMQ, but did have stop and work on my piecing my Groovy quilt and work on the UFO. Which is always good.
