This finish is the result
of a liberated star project
that I started for RSC 2016
but later lost interest in.
The early blocks were
turned into this mini quilt instead.
I used a mixture of
leftover text print pieces
for the scrappy backing.
Max and I quilted this
using soft gold Glide thread
and a modified version of
Leah Day's "Loose Weave"
free motion quilting design.
I absolutely love the texture
and I will use this design again.
24" wide x 36" long
and perfect for the back of my recliner.

This is an adorable mini quilt! Love it!!
I like the quilting too - it looks just right.
Great, happy quilt! Perfect design and fabric!
Such a darling, happy quilt!
I really love the mix of fabrics in this little quilt, and the organic wavy line quilting is just perfect.
Love the quilting design! You and Max seem to be getting along really well.
I hadn't thought of making wavy double lines. The straight-ish double lines I used recently were wonderful but these is even better. Thanks for the idea and congratulations on a lovely finish.
It looks very much at home on the back of your recliner. BEAUTIFUL!!! You and Max work well together.
I love star quilts. You have such good balance in your designing of this quilt.
A great finish, and the organic quiting really adds some wonderful interesting texture to it!
What a beauty!! I love the three colours you've used here Julie, they really pop off the neutrals in the background.
Its wonderful that even though you lost interest in the project you still made something really lovely from the blocks that you did make. I've been using Glide thread recently as well, I love the slight sheen it gives.
This is lovely!
Nice Finish - the quilting design is really neat
Oh, Julie! I adore that quilting pattern!! Wavy lines are an easy go-to pattern for me, but it never occurred to me to do them in a plaid grid like this. Thank you for sharing this!
very pretty
LOVE it!!! I like the quilting too - and glad that even though you lost interest you picked it back up!! great quilt!!
Congratulations on your mini finish. I just love how you've decorated the chair, so inviting, makes me want to cuddle up with a book and a tea.
I'm with everyone else! I like everything about your mini - the bright stars, the low volume backgrounds, the quilting, and where you "hung" it! It's beautiful!
I heartily agree with Diann, a great finish in every way.
PS- Your purole pillow gave me the answer for my Sparks block.
What a fabulous finish. I love how you were able to use a variety of liberated stars and how they pop on the neutral backgrounds. The quilting pattern by Leah Day is a winner. I'm adding that to my book of quilting ideas.
Gorgeous piece! Everything sure came together to make a spectacular finished quilt. I particularly love the quilting! Thanks for sharing.
Great little quilt! And, it would be so easy to change the size if one wanted it slightly larger!
I love everything about this little quilt! Every single thing!
I love this qult! I have a wall in my front room it would look perfect on!
I've been kicking around the idea of a quilt with scattered scrappy stars of different sizes for a while- this is great inspiration!
Sooooooooo impressed with all of your finishes!
Turning a UFO into a minimquilt is a great idea. Love the way it turned out
Congrats on finishing up a RSC UFO.
Great finish. Love the quilting and then it looks so good with your pillows too.
