It's amazing what you can accomplish when you set a deadline for yourself! My class sample for the Lemoyne Star is quilted and bound and off to the quilt shop today--whew!
 |
| Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Sampler (pattern included with the tool). I changed the border a bit so I could add a little more of the cheddar. Instead of the 4" Rapid Fire Lemoyne Stars in the corners, I substituted 3" stars so the border didn't get too big after adding the inner border. I had to try a couple of fussy cut versions of the stars--fun! |
 |
| To meet my deadline, I just quilted an overall Cinnamon roll pattern. It went pretty quickly! |
 |
| I used my lucky Aurifil # 2150 orange thread and I love the way it looks on this quilt. I tested several other colors by "puddling" them on the quilt top and the orange won! |
 |
| Surprisingly, the orange didn't seem to overwhelm the light areas or look too light on the dark areas. Also, my machine loves Aurifil thread--I seem to get a much nicer stitch when I use it. And I love these little 3" stars! |
Susan let me know yesterday that my class was almost full, so to make this sample useful, I may need to teach it a few more times--haha!
 |
| Since I almost froze my tootsies off getting a picture this morning, I am going to show both shots--just because! |
It turned out lovely. The orange Auriful thread is just the right touch.
