Starlit Evening

Sorry for the picture overload today, but I'm so excited to have this quilt finished. I love Anna Maria Horner's vibrant fabrics and this seemed the perfect pattern to show them off - Starlit Evening from Living Large 2 by Heather Mulder Peterson.



I started with the latest collections - Dowry and True Colors and added more AMH from earlier collections that I had stashed.


The quilting is a Paisley design and I avoided quilting over the cream strips.


The blocks and "sashing" are a bit smaller than the original pattern. At first I decided that I didn't want a really big quilt. But as it progressed, I was so loving it that I changed my mind and made a pretty big quilt - which gave me the opportunity to add more beautiful fabrics. It's about 64" x 80".



One of my favorite Dowry prints is on the back...


Here's the full quilt...


Thanks for stopping by!!!

    Beautiful quilt. You chose the right pattern to show off those fabulous fabrics, and, by the look of things, you didn't repeat any of the fabrics. I love it.

    I love your quilts; they are so precise. I found you first on Instagram and drooled at all the pictures. For me, it's something to aspire to. This is a gorgeous quilt. Don't apologize for the pictures; I love admiring them. (Can you admire someone else's quilt?).

    Loving this quilt! I can't wait until my skills are good enough to do it. I've been lusting after it for a while, and I love the fabrics you used. This is how I would want mine to look, bright and happy. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I believe this pattern is from Barbara Clines book Triangle Star. There are several versions of it in her book.
