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 ;)

    Lovely quilt and quilting. I so wish I had a long arm. Oh well, I will just have to keep quilting on my Bernina.

    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!

Quilt Along with Leah Day - week30

This week's design was my all time favorite. Its an easy design but people who don't FMQ think its so complicated ;). I really love the the texture on the quilt. 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. Here is pic of the whole quilt, I would love to make one in girl colors ;): Shades of Blue Quilt - almost done!
