finish it up friday: oh my stars!

Oh my stars, it's done (as of about 15 minutes ago)! I'm so pleased with this finish!

This quilt is going to show at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival in August, as part of a display of quilts made by members of our quilt guild. It was well received at last night's guild meeting, even with the binding only half done! I still need to make a hanging sleeve and add a label.

I bought this adorable fabric to embroider my label. It's from the new Cosmo Cricket line "Baby Jane". So cute!

I even did a little texty quilting... if you look close here you can see "fcmqg bee".

Quilty Stats:
Name: Oh My Stars
Measurements: 48"x73"
Pattern: Block pattern from Ellison Lane, pieced by various members of the Fort Collins Modern Quilt Guild in 2012 and 2013. Quilt top designed by SewDemented and myself. Top assembled and quilted with a crazy loopy stipple by me!
Fabrics: Too many to list! But the background is Kona White. Binding is a gray tone on tone chevron from JoAnn. The back is lots of fat quarters from my stash.
