Lone Star Quilt with Intricate Quilting

This Lone Star took a few weeks to quilt.

I bought a lone star quilt top at our guild’s auction last September, then added borders to make it twin sized.

With all that negative space, it seemed a perfect place to try out some free-motion fills on the navy. I also tried out some feathers, piano keys and diamonds on the borders.

Fun, fun, fun. I used invisible Essence thread on the top and light blue Bottom Line on the back.

A shout out to Carolyn Murfitt’s Blossoming Lonestar on freebirdquiltingdesigns dot com for the inspiration, though I did add other ideas I found on Pinterest to embellish it.

A view of the back sometimes shows the quilting well.
