Michele at Quilting Tutorials is hosting the
2012 Christmas Quilt Show and you won't want to miss all the beautiful eye candy in this virtual quilt showcase!
Snowy Stars is my entry, this quilt was UFO finish #5 for me in
late October. In 2004 I purchased a bundle of snow themed batiks online and started looking for a simple pattern to showcase them. After seeing several versions of Lucky Stars using bright batiks I decided to give it a try in blues. Most of the batiks have a touch of silver metallic sparkle. The quilt measures 45" by 60" and will be going up on my wall next week for display all winter. Cannot wait!

The pattern is Lucky Stars by Atkinson Designs. It was appealing to me as a relatively new quilter because of the floating stars. No worries about clipping any of these.

Snowy Stars was custom quilted by Nancy Clayburn from
Quilting by Design in April 2005 and she did a fabulous job! I love the micro stippling on white, the star in the middle of each star block and the wiggly line down each point. The rest of the quilt is done using loops and bursts of snowflakes.

My Mom attached the binding for me in the fall of 2009 after I fell and broke my leg, but it sat in my UFO Collection for 3 more years. Needless to say, I'll treasure this quilt for many years to come!
This is a really great winter quilt! There are some really awesome fabrics in there.
