I have lots of stitchy things to catch you up on, like the quilt retreat I went on {yay!!!} but took almost no pictures at. I was a girl on a mission with piles and piles of fabric to sew into quilt tops.
want to see the first one I finished at quilt retreat?
I picked some Timber & Leaf up at my LQS before the retreat along with some other FQs I can't identify. The background is a fantastic print from Indian Summer. I knew right away I would be making a giant star with them.
the retreat was beside a beautiful lake, and I thought it would be the perfect place to take pictures, but the clouds, rain, and wind weren't cooperating...
so i tried again by the flowers and had a bit better luck {btw, that is my mom holding up the quilt top. thanks mom!}
I love this quilt so much!
and i have no idea how I am going to quilt it, back it, or bind it. Any suggestions?
p.s. - I cut those flowers from my own garden :)

It will be fun to see how you end up finishing this; love the daffodils with it! They go together!
Beautiful, the colours are so pretty! It looks lovely with the trees in the background.
So pretty and I love the colors. I can relate to the wind and rain but the beauty still shines through with your quilt top.
This is a beautiful quilt and I love your pictures :)
Beautiful! I did a star quilt, I did straight line quilting with my walking foot. I looked at a LOT of star quilts before I started. The other thing that looks particularly good on a star quilt is a huge spiral. Scrappy binding using the same material as the quilt? Aren't I full of opinions today?? lol It is gorgeous, no matter how you finish it, it is going to remain wonderful :)
that is gorgeous. i would go ahead and straight line it(that is my go to) and bind it with a color from your quilt that will stand out and frame it. i love the fox fabric
Very nice quilt, beautiful colors!
Great choice for your fabrics. I love these quilts every time I see one. Good job. The wind is a nuisance!
This giant start looks beautiful
