Last fall (was it that long ago ?!?) I was invited to participate in a quilt-a-long. The pattern was a fractured star—stack N’ whack style. Since I’d always wanted to make one of these I said YES!! and one evening gathered my 9 fat quarters and started layering, cutting, and sewing. An hour later the blocks were done. In another 1/2 hour I had the top put together.
Fast forward to last Thursday, I had a chance to try out my MiL’s new Avante.
Oh, did I have FUN! This was the friendliest machine-quilting experience I have EVER had. 90 minutes later, the quilt was finished!! I couldn’t believe it. Back when I did this one it took weeks to get it all done. The fractured star quilt isn’t all that much smaller, but it went quick. Here it is, a total of 3 hours:
I worked on this using free-motion quilting, no pattern, just lots of swirls.
Amazing Alison! Your talent never ceases to amaze me! Love how fast you made it and yet it looks like you spent alot longer! Such a great design too with fun bright colors! You have such talent! You go girl!
