A Summer Star Finish

The stars didn't stand out enough so I added a little hand quilting after I stitched in the ditch around the blocks.

This was a fun summer project. Thanks to Temecula Quilt Co. for the the weekly block patterns.

I finished the hand quilting while on a short holiday to Duluth and the North Shore.
Here we are at Gooseberry Falls State Park:
The weather was fantastic and we hadn't spent time on the shores of Lake Superior for over ten years.

Lovely finish on your Stars mini!
Oh... very nice! I like the hand quilting on the stars.. looks great!
Very pretty! Looks like you had a great trip!
Lovely, the hand-quilting adds a nice finsh to the quilt.
I love how you finished up your "summer stars"; I think it is just what it needed.
I love it, Mary. Your handquilting stitches are the perfect addition.
Love the photo....makes me smile. The quilt is interesting too...I like that you added the stitching.

sweet little quilt. I have mine layered, ready to quilt.
always nice to take a trip.
I've been to Gooseberry Falls -- lovely place! we've camped along Lake Superior several times.
Such a lovely mini-quilt - blocks and fabrics are so nice!

Adorable little quilt. I think the big stitch hand quilting really adds a nice finishing touch. So many gorgeous places to visit in the US. I'm never had the chance to explore Minnesota.
Great job, Mary! I hope you are having a lovely time. It looks fantastic!
Your handquilting gave your piece the right final touch. Very nice Mary!
Love the stars and the stitching! Oh Gooseberry Falls looks fabulous! Have a great time :)
Mary,
What a truly beautiful quilt! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog a while ago and leaving such a nice comment. Of course, I would love to welcome you back to my blog. Currently, I even have two giveaways -- details are on the sidebar of my blog. There's even another (and last) chance to win an Oktoberfest T-shirt.
Sunny greetings from Munich,

I love, love, love the brown and pink combo! Thanks for sharing!

I think it would be a nice little wall hanging, in my sewing space.. something to remind me to smile each day. As a matter of fact it would be right above my sewing machine so that when I got frustrated trying something new.. I would have to Smile!!
