2 Stars A Day Quilt Finish

 I finally got some photos of my

finished 2 Stars a Day quilt!

I was looking for a way to use up my

beautiful Liberty fabrics and got the wild idea to

make 2 stars a day for a month with them.  It was a fun

challenge project and a good way to practice a little

stick-to-itive-ness.

I had all the star fabrics in my stash, as well as, the two background fabrics

(which were both linen fabrics - one tan and one cream.  Sorry,

I don't know the names of the manufacturers or exact colors.)  I also

had the border fabric in my stash, which was a cream and tan

geometric print from the line Farmhouse by Fig Tree and Co.

I bought the plum color binding fabric and the 

floral backing fabric at Harmony in Provo, Utah.  

There wasn't any info on the selvage of the binding fabric

but the backing fabric is from the line Sevenberry

by Robert Kaufman.

The quilting was done by my friend Jen Ostler in 

Highland, Utah.  She used a panto called Domestic Stitches -

Squared by Leisha Kaye Farnsworth.  It was a new-to-me

design and I love it!  I thought it complimented the stars

and the heirloom feel of this quilt, perfectly!

The labels are from Everemblem.

I get the 2" cotton, fold-over, sew-in labels.

If you go to their site, you'll have to pick a cotton label 

and customize it from there.  I've loved the ease of these labels.

Now I don't have an excuse to not label my quilts!

This quilt finished at 60-1/2" x 75-1/2";

a nice throw size quilt!

I love a good star quilt and don't seem

to have enough of them in my life!

By using two different background colors

along with sashing in the same colors, it created

an almost circular secondary design.

Do you see it?  If not, squint your eyes a little.

Well, what do you think of my 2 Stars a Day quilt?

It was a fun project to make and I'm really happy with

how it turned out.  This is a great stash-buster project.

Let me know if you end up making it.  If you post about it on

Instagram please use the hashtags #gigisthimblepattern

Happy quilting friends!
