Dancing Stars - all quilted and bound

We'd sent Dancing Stars away to be long-arm quilted, and the long arm quilter had sent it back a month or so ago. I finally finished binding it this week - here it is on a bed at my parents.

Pauline, our long-arm quilter really did a great job on this. Without us specifically requesting it, she'd used a variegated thread on the front, which beautifully highlights the bright colours of this quilt.

If you want to buy the PDF pattern, it is available on Etsy and on Craftsy.

Here's why I love this pattern.

- It's an easy way to make up a large quilt - this quilt is 88"x88" (it's being shown on a queen size bed in these pictures.)
- The instructions include an outline diagram, so you can try out your own colour schemes before making this quilt. Make it as colourful or as monochrome as you wish!

Have a great weekend! I brought some fabric to make a quilt, so there could be a bit of quilting in store for me!

Dancing Stars Rangoli - prepare for a colour explosion!

Dear readers, I finally finished writing my Dancing Stars pattern instructions. It took a while! Let's just say it was worth the wait!

Buy this pattern at Craftsy!

Yes, there was snow on the ground when I took pictures. 

This quilt is too large for my clothesline - I need a different quilt hanging solution!

The full quilt outline. This would be really fun in blues and greens too, instead of the pinks and oranges.

I'm now at a bit of a standstill - my pattern testers are otherwise occupied - my cousin is hand-quilting Birds of Paradise, my mom is vacationing in India, and my aunt is making someone a table-runner.

However, I do have a baby-shower to go to, and I thought of an awesome pattern, inspired by a Moroccan tile. So maybe, I should work at that...
