Star Quilts for Christmas

Hello Everyone,

This is my entry for SewCalGal's 2011 Christmas Quilt Show.  This quilt is from Comfort and Joy by Mary Hickey.  It was a fun and easy quilt to make. I've taught this class at In Between Stitches, and all of the quilts are just beautiful. Check them out in their beginning stage here. The combinations of color are endless. What is better for Christmas than a star quilt?



I'm also entering Country Charmer, my own design.  I taught this class at In Between Stitches just a couple of weeks ago.  Check this class out HERE.  Both classes were so much fun and the ladies were so creative.





We finally have power, Internet and phone after a harrowing windstorm in the mountains.  Even Zinnie was afraid to go outside and take care of business. I'd better get this posted before the power goes out again!

As always,

Lynn

    I like them both very much. Stars are a beautiful block design for Christmas quilts.

    Both quilts are lovely, can't beat a quilt with lots of stars! The quilting on the first one is so beautiful, I'm definitely a feather girl.
