Solstice Star Quilt Finish

IT IS FINISHED!!!!!! Can I get a BIG WOO HOO??????  This Pineapple Princess will be on her way to Sunny California today!!!!



 The back of the quilt. Laurie requested two layers of batting so I sent her Pellon's Nature's Touch.   She and I agreed it is amazing!!!!




The quilt from piecing to the quilting and binding is 100% Aurifil 50wt .  I was out of Aurifil for a short amount of time and let me tell you, I actually missed my Aurifil, it feels better and sews better than any other thread I have used. The results really speak for themselves :o)

The Longarm Quilting magic of Laurie Tigner is still blowing my mind!





The front!!!!! The stars were made using the tutorial from Faith at Fresh Lemons for her incredible Solstice Stars Series and I can recommend it highly! The fabric is Amy Butler from many different lines and they all look perfectly perfect together.







Now, hopefully I can find something to do WITH the kids ALL summer and find time to sew too...

Amazing!!!! I bought this batting a while back (queen size) and was going to use it on my design wall because I couldn't find out much about it. Glad I read this first. I will save it for the quilt for which it was intended.
