I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilts #256: Floral Lucky Stars 2020


I made this quilt for the daughter of a very dear friend.  She said she likes pink and red and would love a floral quilt.   Perfect because I've had the prettiest Moda floral fabrics in my stash since 2010!

The pattern is Lucky Stars from Atkinson Designs, and it's one of my favorite designs.  It's fairly easy and goes pretty quickly.  


The backing is reddish-pink paisley that complements the red and pink overall color scheme of the top.  I also used the same fabric for the binding which is sewn by machine.

I quilted it with a simple loopy heart E2E pantograph which is a fast and easy design that goes well with this pattern.  And, I used lightweight polyester batting.

The quilt measures 57" x 69" ~ a nice size to wrap herself in love with her children.

UPDATE: I finally gifted this quilt to my friend's daughter.  I dropped it off with my friend so I did not see DD when she got the quilt.  But she did text this picture later that evening to thank me.  Love the smile.
