Design Wall Monday

After having spent a ton of hours on the Wedding Quilt 
with finishing the top & the backing,
loading it and starting the quilting,
I guess it is finally  time for a picture,
even though it doesn't show much....

Can you believe it: every bobbin lasts me for 2 rows only -

urghhh, it sure is a big quilt!

Whenever I needed a break from 'Wedding' sewing,
I added some more block to the Star Struck top.


 And I added some Anita's Arrowhead blocks as well.
Maybe I should be doing a 5 x 5 layout -
and add a few more blocks...
(oops, one of the blocks is turned the wrong way).
I really like the secondary pattern of the solid squares
with the four patch and X's!

That's it from my corner in SE Michigan.
Please enjoy oher design walls listed at Judy's!

  1. Love both the Anita's Arrowhead quilt and the Star Struck top. They are beautiful. The secondary pattern in the arrowhead quilt is really cool. I may have to find my copy of the magazaine that pattern is in and make a few myself. Thanks for sharing your verion.

  3. The arrowhead quilt is beautiful and taking a picture always helps to find that one block that is askew. So much easier than taking the block out! liz

  6. I too bought the mag for this block. Haven't tried it yet. Didn't buy the 100 blocks #2 even though it was available Friday. Need to go back and get it before it is gone. Nice work on your two quilts... and right, can't see much of the one on the machine. You must have an "L" bobbin. I hate having to refill bobbins but I have the "L" also. Do you put your binding on while the quilt is loaded on the long arm?

    Love the SS and Arrowhead. I think most of us have multiple projects going on, we don't want to be bored. :)

  13. I love what you've got going on for Bonnie's SS project. This is a pattern I've got on in my sewing bucket. Arrowhead pattern has been getting lots of interest lately. Are you keeping the wedding quilt a secret? Love to see a photo once you've got it mounted for quilting.

  15. I've only seen the Arrowhead blocks in scrappy quilts (each block a different 2 colors) but I LOVE the one you did with all the same blocks! Totally different--you can really see the secondary pattern well.
