This quilt was 13 years in the making - my second oldest UFO. In 2008, DD was living in Texas when she made this quilt top. When I visited her in 2009, she asked me to quilt it for her since it was so big and I had a quilting frame. I gladly agreed and brought it back to California with me. I am happy to say that I FINALLY finished quilting and binding my daughter's Batik Star quilt.
I put it aside as I dealt with other priorities. But as the years flew by, the thought of finishing this quilt kept nagging at me. It wasn't until 2013 that I ordered the black batting with the sincere intention of getting this quilt finished. Well, the years kept flying by and before I knew it, we were celebrating the new year of 2021.
I used Quilters Dream Poly batting and did an overall design with a light blue color thread. It took me 6 days to quilt it and then 2 days to bind it. The quilt measures 88" x 92".
My daughter loves horses and now lives in Kentucky where she is involved with the equestrian community. The backing with an all-over print of wild horses is perfect.
