A Star Addition!



This quilt was one given to me in pieces and I put it together and then sent it off to my good friend for her second son. What I really loved about this one is the label I was able to contrive for the back of this quilt. It was my first attempt at applique and it turned out really great and my girl friend liked it too. Although when I visited her, she had put the quilt in storage--Oh the agony! Just kidding, M!!! I cut out an animal from the print that matched the quilt and then snipped around the corners and whipped it onto the quilt back after binding. It really was certainly the right touch! I love this little piece and am glad there was a little boy to pass it along to. It is tied with variegated yellow, white and blue cotton yarn! I love a tied quilt! Just so much more snuggly!
