Shine Finish

I finished quilting this one up last week in plenty of time for my April goal of the Lovely Year of Finishes.

I free motioned stars over all of it using two different colors.  I used the poly thread from Superior So Fine on the light areas and then in the red/blue areas I used a red in Aurifil.  I wanted to try the So Fine thread since that is what Angela Walters uses and I just finished watching her class on Craftsy.  I liked them both.  I didn't really think one was better than the other or they looked different either.  Maybe they will when they are washed as I have not done that yet.

I did the outer border with bigger stars all the way around.

When I had it finished both the DS and DH both loved it.  They wanted to know why I don't make more in that color scheme.  While I do love the look from far away this quilt gave me a little heartburn so not my favorite but I think it did turn out great. I really liked the back.  I bought one piece of the QOV fabric and used a navy with white stars that I had in my stash since about 1994!  I had enough for the back and the binding!  That one piece added looked great!
