AZ Sunrise top

I think I showed you part of one of the projects from my trip to quilt camp this summer, but now I've finished the quilt top. It's a Lone Star variation, with NYB blocks filling all of the diamond shapes, designed by Deb Karasik.



The quilt pattern showed it squared off before adding the border, but I decided to keep it octagonal. That meant completely redrafting the borders, which I accomplished in EQ6 with lots of help from Patti Anderson and Barb Vlack -- both EQ6 experts, to put it mildly. I'm now trying to decide how to quilt this one -- deciding on that is always a difficult part of quilt-making for me!



The third photo down the page at will show you the top.


Thanks, Kathyl! :)

Thanks, Mary! :) It's all paper piecing, so it's lots easier than it looks.

Yup -- that's exactly the problem, Carole. I can't ever figure out exactly what I desire -- but I know I want to quilt it. LOL!

Sandy, that is absolutely out of this world! Totally awesome. You are one very talented lady.

Gorgeous work! You have great talent and I'm inspired by your work.....that star is just amazing.

I'm delighted by your border fabric choice. I struggled for hours today trying to decide which one was just right for my current project. It's not easy; will make or break your quilt. You did good! Polly

WOW

Sorry thats all that i can find to say

Wonderful, Sandy. I just love that outer border! The middle is beautiful, too, of course >g< Heaven knows how it can be quilted. I know I would just quilt something stunning in the plain blue squares, and the rest in the ditch!! But, I'm sure you'll think of something lovely - you always do, even if it takes a while. .

That's quite impressive, Sandy!
