This is another simple quilt that was made for the teddy bears. It measures approximately 22.5 x 27 inches and was such fun to make. Twelve 4.5″ LeMoyne Stars and a border and it was done. It’s hand pieced and machine quilted. This was the first quilt I machine quilted using anything but straight lines. On the borders I managed to quilt a cable, although it doesn’t really show up in the picture. That may be one of the benefits of working with a small quilt when machine quilting for me – I can manoeuvre the quilt sandwich a bit easier.
During the summer of 2008 it was also put to use for a teddy bear outing on the roof garden. Finding the old photos of these quilts is rather fun. I’m actually finding quilts I had completely forgotten about.
I’m still working away on the pieced border for the red and white quilt and, while I work on it, am thinking about another idea for a red and white quilt. The next one will be a small quilt though, I think. This red and white Feathered Star/Sunflower quilt is going to be rather large although I have sorted out how I will baste it. I’ll put it in the collapsible floor frame to baste it. No more crawling around on the floor with safety pins, not that that’s even an option with an inquisitive cat like Baxter around. I can just imagine what a nightmare that could be.
Speaking of Baxter, this photo was taken last week. Mr. Q.O. captioned it, “Any treats over there?”

Cute little quilt! Yes, I know about cats getting on your quilts when they are on the design floor! The quilts are like magnets for them.

What a cute little quilt….. Amazing how our brain just keeps pumping the ideas. Now if we could only create and finish them as fast.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning… 🙂

Love the colors in your star quilt! And the small size just ups the cuteness factor. Too fun!

Very nice quilt!
I ‘m sure Baxter would LOVE to help with your quilt. Carrying safety pins around would be one of his fun things to do!

Looking forward to seeing your feathered star quilt. You could always ask your local longarm quilter if she would baste it for you. It would save you time and probably get it done faster too 🙂

Boo and Miss Kitty sometimes get sent to their room (my bedroom) for awhile when I am basting a quilt on the floor. It just doesn’t work to have those kitty magnets on the floor pulling the kitties onto them! Cute little LeMoyne Star quilt, Cathi! And I love Mr Q.O.’s captions.

The quilt and the teddies are wonderful and Baxter is gorgeous. A long time ago I had a kitty who looked very much like him. While generally sedate, when the Christmas tree went up, his favorite place was a high up the trunk as he could go.
