Dear readers, in my last post, I mentioned I had a baby shower to go to, and a quilt to make for that, inspired by a Moroccan tile.
This is it - Finlay's Stars! (Finlay's the name of the wee one.)
The colours are rather un-Moroccan, since I thought this would double as a rather fabulous Fourth of July quilt. There's one planned blue (the dark one) and several bits of scrap blues, which is a good way to use your scraps, while still keeping the look of a planned quilt.
Finlay's Stars will go on sale next week. I've no time to write instructions right now, since the baby shower is on Sunday! Eek! I better get to attaching the borders and quilting it. (My least favourite bits of the process, I'm afraid.)
As an aside, I need to learn how to work the settings on my camera. I took photos outside, but it's a cloudy day - the brighter pictures are the manual setting, the darker ones are the automatic, and the true colours of the quilt are somewhere in between.

Beautiful quilt! The new mother and baby will love it for sure!
