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!!

ReplyDeleteOoooh, 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!)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Was the antique quilt just the same?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Lori! I love all the scrappy goodness and that great zig zag in the background. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteWOW 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?
ReplyDeleteOoo, that's BEAUTIFUL! How do you do a setting like that? Yes, that would be a GREAT quilt along!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove, 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!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt...love the pink & green. Aren't antique quilts inspiring?
ReplyDeleteawestruck again, never fail to amaze me....glad we don't live close i would have a big inferiority complex!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes a beauty, I have a pattern for this quilt and it is on my to do list.
ReplyDeletecheers

Beautiful quilt, Lori! I love the way you used the colors. What size is it?
ReplyDeleteLori it is such a beautiful quilt. I really love it.
ReplyDeleteThis 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?
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is fabulous and just sings Spring! Looks like another one of your cozy, antique creations! How big is it?
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! It looks like a vintage one. Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I recognize this from the New Jersey book, right? What a beautiful rendition you made!! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a real stunner Lori. I love the zig zag setting, no wonder it's a favourite.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the twist on the stars block! Great idea and lovely colours!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did an amazing job recreating that quilt! Beautiful work and a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful repro quilt! Absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteAren't antique quilts just the best inspiration?
simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the stars and the zig zag.
