I've always seen it as the start of the new year, with things picking up their normal rhythm after the lazy days of summer. With that in mind, I decided to make a simple quilt to cuddle under during the cooler nights when one can find me in my favorite corner of the couch stitching on a sampler.
It's also the first large-sized quilt I've made with my Featherweight, and it held up quite nicely too!
There's a wonderful 1/4 inch foot on it, but I can't sew over the pins as I usually do with my Pfaff, but with a little practice I managed to get most of the points just right.
Yes, there's a boo-boo in it - I saw it too late and left it in, as I always do with my quilts!
And now it's time to dig into my closet and find fabric for the backing. In keeping with the folksy feel, I decided to "make-do" and not buy any special fabric for it....so it may look a bit scary back there!
That should give me some extra time to consider the quilting bit...babtist fans? meander? If you have any suggestions, I welcome them!
In the meantime, enjoy the weekend!

Love your Spinning Star quilt. Even the miss-sew looks planned and adds a little mystery to the quilt.
