I saw the antique quilt in a museum and knew I must make one like it. It took me some time to make all the little star blocks (6") but it was worth it. Kathy, my machine quilter, did an awesome job of quilting it. This is one of my favorite quilts.
The original quilt resides in New Jersey.
Check out the Bloggers Quilt Festival and see all the terrific quilts! Thanks Amy for hosting this!!

Wonderful quilt!! Love it!
Ooooh, I love it! Darn, now I want to go play with my scrap bin and make a gazillion 6" stars. (Must resist temptation to start any more projects until WIPs are done!)
Oh My Gosh!!! That is gorgeous. I just love it and agree with Venus de Hilo that I want to make one - but can't right now.
That is GORGEOUS!! Now I want to make one. LOL!
This is a great quilt! I love this zig-zag setting, but never tried it out. Thanks for showing!
Love your quilt Lori and not surprised you do too. Great colour combinations - was this the original colouring or your own variation?
That is a beautiful quilt and wonderful reproduction.
I love the looks of your quilts, you have the gift for primitive style.

What a beautiful quilt! Love those little stars and that setting is just stunning -
Beautiful! Was the antique quilt just the same?
Gorgeous, Lori! I love all the scrappy goodness and that great zig zag in the background. Wonderful!
Love it Lori! How close to the original did you stay? I have an old star quilt with the zig zag setting all in raspberry, really pretty. Yours makes me want to make one too. I've already got a star quilt in progress with 4" stars, so maybe later. Great inspiration, thanks!
WOW Lori - that quilt is "knock my socks off" gorgeous. That zigzag sashing in the 2 colors is alive with color. I always love star quilts - I can easily see why you wanted to make it. Do you have a picture of the original?
Ooo, that's BEAUTIFUL! How do you do a setting like that? Yes, that would be a GREAT quilt along!! LOL
Love, love the green and pink zig-zag effect sashing on this quilt!!! It looks so authentic of the time period!!! Working your way through all those small stars was really worth it!!! You and your long-arm quilter did a great job!!!
What a fabulous quilt...love the pink & green. Aren't antique quilts inspiring?
awestruck again, never fail to amaze me....glad we don't live close i would have a big inferiority complex!!!!
Oh yes a beauty, I have a pattern for this quilt and it is on my to do list.
cheers

Okay, seriously… this is a quilt a girl could snuggle under. Fer real!
Lori, your star quilt is outstanding. The pink and poison green colors give the stars quite a spark!
It's gorgeous Lori! I love it, the pink and green looks fantastic together with all those stars.

Such a beautiful quilt. Thankyou for sharing it with us.
Great Quilt!!
It's in the NJ heritage book and one of my personal favs.
Mary V. and I made it for a raffle quilt years ago, with Jill and Susan's help.
I should make one for myself as I love it!!
Your version is fabulous, just like you

Beautiful quilt, Lori! I love the way you used the colors. What size is it?
Lori it is such a beautiful quilt. I really love it.
This quilt is stunning! I can see why you were compelled to make it, i feel the same after seeing yours! It's so beautiful. I love the colours you've chosen, did the original quilt have pink and green zig zags too?
This quilt is fabulous and just sings Spring! Looks like another one of your cozy, antique creations! How big is it?
Fabulous quilt! It looks like a vintage one. Well done! :)
Oh, I recognize this from the New Jersey book, right? What a beautiful rendition you made!! I just love it!
It's a real stunner Lori. I love the zig zag setting, no wonder it's a favourite.
I tried to quickly squeeze my eyes shut when I first glimpsed the photo of this quilt but it was too late. I've been dreaming of poison green and double pink with stars from scraps but was resisting Until now, alas. Such a wonderful and tempting quilt
I love pink and green together. Adding all these stars (100 or so?) makes this a wonderful quilt, Lori. You have a great talent for making antique quilts live on with your own touch.
This is beautiful!
Love the twist on the stars block! Great idea and lovely colours!
Wow! You did an amazing job recreating that quilt! Beautiful work and a real treasure.
Thanks for sharing!
I love this quilt so much! Your stars are wonderful (I like that they're done with only one print and a shirting), and I've always liked that zig-zag set -- the alternate pink and green just ramps up the design to a whole new level. Great job, Lori!
Beautiful repro quilt! Absolutely stunning!
Aren't antique quilts just the best inspiration?
simply gorgeous!
Love the stars and the zig zag.
Hello Lori, I love your quilt and it was well worth your effort in the making of it.....love the colourway ....Warm Regards, Lyn
Absolutely stunning. Well worth all the time and effort. Give yourself a big pat on the back! :D
It's a beautiful quilt. So many stars but so worth the effort. Lovely work with the quilting, too.
Beautiful quilt and so worth all the time you put into it. Isn't it wonderful to replicate an antique quilt?
Wow it is really pretty! I love the zig zag sashing!
Wow, it's gorgeous, you did a wonderful job reproducing this quilt. Love the retro color combo.
It is a lovely quilt, pretty colors.
beautifully recreated Lori~!!~
i can see why it's a favorite.

This is a great quilt! Very dynamic. Thanks for sharing the making of it with us.
This quilt caught my eye again. Can you tell me which museum owns the original? The pink and green quilt in my most recent post is a New Jersey quilt and I would like to see more of this one.
