Spectrum–A Miniature Lone Star Quilt Part 3

IMG_3675Well here is, Spectrum, all quilted labeled and bound.  It was a challenge to get all parts to fit together but I sure had fun quilting this 14 1/2” square piece.  To give you an idea of the size here is a photo of a thimble sitting on the quilt.  Getting the correct color in a photo is sometimes problematic but the color on the photo of finished quilt above and the thimble detail one  below are closer to the original colors.IMG_3701IMG_3679I inserted piping just inside the binding and I do like the yellow fabric as it gives a spark to the outside of the quilt.  As you can see I love to quilt feathers and sprinkled them throughout and some of them ended up being pretty tiny.  I used a fine thread and small stitches but still had trouble keeping my stitching lines as smooth as I wanted.  I am trying hard not to rip out every offending area as I tend to be too much of a perfectionist and letting things be the way they are is hard for me if they are a little imperfect so please ignore the wobbly stitching lines!IMG_3677Hope you enjoyed this last peek.

Until Later,
Lynn

I love the color choices that you used!! It was fun to see how you laid the fabric out, to keep in order. Beautiful quilting & all done already!! Thanks for all the pictures.

Oh my goodness! So beautiful and TINY!! I didn't realize how small it was from looking at your last post. It would make a wonderful full sized quilt, too! :)

Oh, this is amazing! I love your quilting, but my favorite part is the way you arranged the colors in the lone star.

I think your quilting is gorgeous. And I agree that the yellow piping adds a lot of light. Really beautiful.
