It's finished!!

Bright and beautiful...
childish and colourful...
playful and pretty...
fun and friendly...
and best of all it makes me smile!!
It's a pattern by Atkinson Designs called "Lucky Stars" that started here, then progressed to this and then this, and now it's done and it feels so good! I debated on how to quilt it but really like the outlining and "inlining" the stars. It's the first time I made the back more interesting to make it double-sided but I've been seeing it all over online and thought it would be fun to try. So, for some fabric that's been stashed away for over two years with this in mind, it's done. Now...onto the next project...

On another note...I have a friend who is having a giveaway for a baby or toddler sleepsack to celebrate her 100th sale (including both Etsy and local sales). She has also just launched her first pattern! Very exciting for her! I hope to do a review of the pattern within a few weeks.

    It makes me smile, too! It's a happy quilt - that's for sure. Those colors are gorgeous and the stars really pop on that white background! Love the way you quilted it. The row of stars on the back is so cool! Wonderful job!!
