2009 Projects~ Project #1 Twin Falling Stars Quilt

I think I have figured out how to pull together all the info on my projects here on the blog. YAY!

Here it is, my first completed project of the new year! This quilt was part of my fall scrap bin busting project. I made 3 quilts, including this one, as a result of that commitment to use what I had. I think that I will try to alternate quilt projects this year between new & scrap bin fabrics.

I really enjoyed how quickly this quilt went together & the effect of the extremely simple block. As a new machine quilter, I have been trying out various quilt-as-you-go methods to see what works for me. On this project I used the Divide & Conquer method #3 that reduced the batting bulk while machine quilting with my regular sewing machine. It was also another opportunity to practice free motion quilting on the borders (another chance to thank Kimbuktu for her great tutorial!)
