Spring Seminar Quilt

I finished the top of the wall hanging I am donating to our Master Gardener silent auction. This is one of the fund raising efforts we put on during our Spring Seminar. This little quilt is a Lemoyne Star pattern. I used the “By Kate…” stamps to mark diamonds on the fabric. This keeps the bias from pulling as it does when marking with pencil and template. I like the results. The top is much smoother and the points are better than with traditional fabric marking. Now I just have to get it quilted and bound before Saturday morning. I need to figure out what color to bind the whole thing up with. The binding will make one more border around the quilt although only about half an inch of fabric shows on the front. I can repeat any of the colors. Should I use the pink, yellow, or blue?

  4. His sister. It is now two to one yellow. I know how good you are with color so yellow has it. Unless someone comes up with a very compeling reason for another color.

  5. How pretty! I love the colors you used.
    I would do a blue edge. (Although I love yellow as a color, it's my favorite color!) But the yellow is too pale for a half inch strip, blue looks nicer as a border.

  9. I ran out of the yellow. It had to be blue. Turns out, nobodys opinions mattered not even mine.

    Thanks for the input.
