I'm not the best at finishing projects (Understatement!!) so I am ecstatic that I actually had a finsih this weekend! I have at least 4 quilts in process, a bee block sketched, a few new paper pieced patterns started and a pillow for a pillow swap started. But...I did finish my Starburst Spools pillow - yay! I was inspired by Amy to try an invisible zip closure on this one. I love that you cannot see the closure at all! I put a lovely DS quilts floral on the back.
I'd love to make a quilt with this pattern - eee gads, not another start : )
It was fun to come up with the quilting design for this one. There is hand quilting around the star and echo quilting around the star and spools though I know it is a bit hard to see in the pic.
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday evening. I'm doing a bit of sewing and this is the state of my table! The kitchen is clean, I have three loads of laundry to fold and a check book to balance but the boys are asleep and I can sew. I think the laundry and check book can wait until tomorrow!!
