Pretty star quilt finish from Melanie...
When we got this submission from Melanie, it just really popped out at me. I thought it would be a fun Friday feature, just to make us happy and prep us all for the weekend! I have been wanting to make a star quilt forever! I love the colors, and prints, and white backing. Just really pretty! See Melanie's pretty flower tutorials here, and some fun quilt finishes here.
Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted since Monday, the week got away from me... but I've got something yummy to show you ;). Ainsley's quilt is done! So happy with how it turned out and glad to have completed my 7th quilt!

I've always liked that pattern and yours looks really nice
What a lovely quilt. I love the way you put the colors together. I, too, would like to know a good way to label quilts. Even the Pigma Microns are not the best. Maybe there is a fabric that works best. If you find a good idea please pass it on! Thanks for sharing the details of your quilt. Great work!
I love the invisible (reversed) star on the back of the quilt. I have always been a fan of stars and this is an interesting twist to the block.
It's beautiful and it looks so soft and cuddly! Great job!
very pretty!
Beautiful! The last quilt I made I actually took a piece of solid fabric and some cross stitch floss and hand stitched my own label. Since the quilt was commissioned I think it really added that special touch for the family.
What a fun and bright quilt~
So pretty! Makes me want to make one.
Lovely quilt, lucky little girl. I make my labels on my computer and print them on fabric sheets. I like to add a photo or a piece of clipart. I did an article recently for our guild newsletter on Labels, and one suggestion was to always include your whole name and place the quilt was made - for historical purposes. Years from now, someone may wonder who MOMMA was!!
Love it.
My machine will do an alphabet, small, but it is there. I sometimes put the label on the binding, in a place that will take a lot of letters, perhaps the side. Sometimes I make a label with an additional piece of fabric with the information on it and then sew it onto the back of the quilt - and then sometimes I quilt the information right into the rambling design of the quilt. You have to know where to look, but it is there.
it's beautiful i love it and especially the reverse star on the back. That's only your 7th quilt you say?, wow.
I love the fabrics used in this gorgeous quilt!
Lovely quilt - such pretty colours! I often embroider my labels- hand or machine! It gives a nice touch which is everlasting!
beautiful! love the colours. very sweet quilt.
