Purple Lucky Stars








I finished another customer quilt yesterday. 


 This one was made from the Lucky Stars pattern by Atkinson.  This is a fat quarter pattern that is very forgiving to make, since the star points do not end at the quarter-inch seam allowance. 

                                     
 My friend Mary Nennstiel from the Whacky Ladies made this one for her seven-year old granddaughter who loves purple.


I couldn't decide what overall design to use, so I decided to treat this as a magical star garden.  I stitched star bursts...




starry flowers...



 flowers, hearts, and swirls...


more swirls...

No tension problems or knots on the back this time after my machine tweaking the other day.  How fun to do a quilt and not have to do any "reverse sewing!"
