Vermont Star Beauty
This beauty was made by Joan Ballard Midland, MI Joan wrote in her email: "Carol, I love the Vermont Star and the wonderful lattice work you get when you combine several stars. I have also always wanted to do a more traditional Amish solid color quilt. So I combined the two and added a ribbon border and created my own paper pieced outside lattice from the Vermont Star but omitted the star. This was the final product! I hope you like it." I not only like it...I love it. |

Awesome Quilt Featuring Mariner`s Compass Stars
Marie Glenwright from York, PA shared her quilt that has been accepted in the AQS Lancaster show. Marie wrote the following description: It's 54"by 54", hand pieced, appliqued, quilted and embroidered. The block in the middle is the Switzerland block, outer middle is the China block then around the outside is 4 Germany blocks with 4 applique that I made from a stencil ( that I enlarged ). I purchased at a home improvement store. After finishing the quilting I thought I'd do a "little" embroidery on the front and back. Good luck Marie and thanks for sharing your spectacular quilt. |
