Yesterday I finished the final sewing on “Oh My Stars”! Here are a few pics I took before it got washed 🙂
I used Color catchers in the wash but didn’t know if the strong reds and blues I didn’t prewash (as they were from charm packs) but they Riley Blake fabrics I chose did not run on the whites I used .. Yippee!
It is waiting to be hung (by yard sticks!) from the first hanging sleeve I ever made.. I am pretty proud of that! One day I hope to show a quilt… learning this handy way to install one was stupendous 🙂
Here is where it will hang soon!
Doesn’t this space >>>>>>
look like it needs a little flavor??? lol
Here is a close up of the star made of little wooden buttons I painted with model silver paint 🙂

The details on this quilt include…
- Inspired by Jenny Doan (MSQC visit to my LQS) tutorial and her finished quilt
- Flimsy was finished in May… you can read about that here
- I only used Aurifil thread on this quilt… from machine piecing to hand quilting and binding. Aurifil I am loving now for piecing… YLI remains my fave hand quilting thread but just doesn’t have the color availability that Aurifil does 🙂
- Quilting started June 9 but interrupted for Project RJq ;)… read about that here
- Batting used was wool… Hobbs Tuscany
- Quilting finished including hanging sleeve AQS style from above noted tutorial
- Finished size is 36″ x 46″ wide
Hope you enjoyed this full on show today! I sure enjoyed all the slow stitching that went into this project.
I will be sharing what is up next soon… and don’t forget in 2 weeks there is a LINKY PARTY right here with a prize for a lucky linker too! This is not a competition.. it is goal oriented.. wanna know more??? Follow me.. I talk about setting and meeting goals all the time! lol

This quilt is beautiful. I love the star buttons. You should enter this in a quilt show. I just entered my first show and was surprised to win a 2nd place ribbon. More than I ever dreamed.

Kathi, it's beautiful! I didn't realize it had buttons until I saw the close up picture. Oh my Stars will be gorgeous on the wall you have picked out. I have a little collection of yard sticks and recently discovered where people are using them to hang mini's…. love it!!
