Star Garden



"Star Garden" was my eighth quilt, a piano bench cover with an irregular shaped border. This quilt is reversible with stars made out of jungle flower print fabric and greens on one side, and stars made out of a multi-colored striped straw-like geometric print fabric and yellow and purple on the other side. I used the stack-n-whack (Bethany S. Reynolds) / kaleidoscope (Paula Nadelstern) method of rotary cutting and piecing. The entire quilt was machine sewn. The quilting consisted of following the 60-degree triangle borders on one side, which results in the thread not matching the seams on the other side. Sloppy, sloppy, but interesting.
