Ohio Star Gift quilt finished

I finished the Ohio Star that is a gift for my sister-in-law, to thank her for all the help she has given us over the years since we have been back in Ohio. The picture I took is not the best and I will probably replace it in the next couple of days, but you will get the idea. It is 72" x 72" and matches the colors (greens) in her living room and I chose the Pinks and Pale Reds and the Burgundy binding for accent. The sashing is actually a faint mottled peach which doesn't show up the best in this picture. She doesn't know I am doing it for her and she doesn't have any quilts, to my knowledge, in her house. She has been eyeing some of mine and commenting on how lovely they are. (hint, hint). I have been non committal as I didn't want to let her know I was doing one for her. We are going up there early next month and we will give it to her then. It should be a hoot. I had a lot of fun doing all the points in this pattern and will probably do another one for myself.

Very pretty.... I have a fondness for the Ohio Star.... being a Buckeye deep down (born there... and have 2 degrees from OSU!)

Your SIL is quite lucky!

Lovely colors and a pretty setting- good job! I'm sure she'll be honored and thrilled to receive such a beautiful quilt! Great job! That's one of my favorite blocks, too.

No family to cook for, children to raise, job to go to, or other organization to attend, and nine hour days quilting, makes for quick quilts. That and an obsessive compulsive attitude toward what I am doing at the time. My wife asked me this morning when I went to buy the fabric and we started to think about it and decided the time from going to buying the fabric to last nights completion was about 8 days. I bought the fabric on 2-8-08 and finished it last night. A couple of those days were spent not doing much on the quilt as we had to go to outside things. Cold snowy weather is conducive to spending time quilting also.

John, that's lovely! Another wonderful quilt from your hands. Oh, have I mentioned that I was doing some genealogy and discovered that I'm your long-lost sister-in-law? ;)

Did I tell you my wife has traced our family lines, back to Adam and Eve. She has stated that she is related to Eve, I on the other hand, am related to The Snake, or at least that is her story.

No, Pat, but I think I've driven through it at some point. That should be close enough. ;)
