My Star Crazy - Finished

It has been a long, long time since I started this quilt back when the group began in January 2010.  I finished the top in January 2011 but I had another quilt on my hand quilting frame so I couldn't start quilting it until December of 2011.  I just took it off the frame the other day and got the binding on it.  I added an extra border around the quilt as I had wanted it larger than it was.  Mine finishes in at 95 x 95 inches after I washed and dried it. I love the crinkly antique look of a quilt.  This quilt took me about 260 hours of work - 132 hours of that was the quilting - the piecing took almost as long as the quilting did!!

Beginning to Quilt



Finally after all these months I am beginning the hand quilting for Star Crazy. I am keeping track of progress of the quilting on my personal blog and if you wish to follow me there you can do so and I will try to remember to post a update now and then here also. I expect to be quilting for at least 4 months maybe up to 8 months! Who can tell, it all depends on how many projects I get going.
Thank you Nedra for beginning this blog, it has been fun to see everyone's quilts as they pieced and then showed the finish quilt.

It´s done

Well Star Crazy friends, now it is my turn to show up my stars. I change the green border and took a red one instead, I like the red border better to the color on my quilt.


I will thank you all of you for the friendship and suport over the last year. I guess that my stars would get into an ufo if I should made it by my own. Thank you Nedra for welcome me to this quilting group, I have got new freinds here.



Thanks, Elisabeth

Winter Storm and Quilting is a Good Thing

On Tuesday Oklahoma received 12 inches of snow.  For us, who rarely receive snow, this is a big deal.  So guess what?  I had an excuse to stay in and finish my Star Crazy Quilt...woohoo!!
I had to lay it on the carpet and stand on a ladder to get a picture of the entire quilt.

Here it is laying on the queen size bed in our guest room.  I am going to hire someone to machine quilt it.  The quilt will end up on this bed.  I will be redecorating the room, painting the walls, new curtains, new bed skirt, etc using this quilt as my design inspiration. 

Ladies, I have enjoyed the year.  I have made many new friends through this blog.  Thank you again Nedra for coordinating this.  I will be close by waiting to see more finished quilts.
