This is the quilt that is shown in my header - Hitch Your Flowers to a Star - that I finished in 1988. It is machine satinstitched appliqued and hand quilted. I found the idea in an old Quilt magazine that used a large star with an applique in each empty block. The blocks are large - about 17 1/2 inches square - with a wide sashing and border that is quilted with a feather row
More of the blocks in the quilt. I quilted motifs in the centers of the designs that had a space.
In later years, I did the wallhanging over the bed from some of the leftover fabric that I still had and machine quilted it. I have always loved this quilt and have had it on the bed for lots of years. (Click to enlarge)
