What did I do this weekend? Worked on the blue and white Texas Star quilt. It’s quilted and the binding is attached to the front. I’m hoping to finish the binding and have this done in time to qualify as my third finish for Peg’s Finish 5 in July challenge.
I’m very tempted to do this pattern again but this time in lots of colours for the star points. It is so easy to put together, thanks to Inklingo, and I think it would really be a fun quilt if done in brights. Next time, if I do make it a next time, I’m using a woven in white on white or cream for background. I would have loved to have hand quilted this one but that white on white is next to impossible to needle. It was bad enough to hand piece; I cannot imagine what it would have been like to try to quilt through it!
Some more work was done on the secret project as well, which I’m hoping can be unveiled this week.
Smudge took over the windowsill spot for a while this weekend.

The star quilt is so pretty! I think scrappy stars would be wonderful, too. Your Four Seasons Summer Quilt turned out really cute, too. Someone will be very happy when it arrives in their mailbox. Meows to Lester and Smudge.
