Changed My Mind

I didn't end up going with the celestial idea from the last post.  I grew to hate the yellow being anywhere near my turquoise.  So I added a green border.  It looked a little too weird, suddenly having another strong color along the border.  So I cut out some stars from my leftover green and appliquéd them in place.

I am still horrible with appliqué, and didn't improve much with this practice.  But I'm looking up class schedules at local quilt shops to see what I can learn.

This is quilted in a star pattern.  I am so over free-motion quilting on my machine.  It just wasn't built to handle that kind of job.  So until $300 drops from the sky for a new machine, it's hand-quilting or fixed machine-quilting.

I'm going to put this quilt up for sale on my Etsy account this week.  But it's going to be hard to part with!
