The 100 Inch Star

Sometimes we come up with a great idea.  Like this one I had...  Oh yes let's double a 50" pattern so we can have a star to cover my mother's entire bed!   When your brain tells you this is a good idea, take a second and think about what a 100" star looks like.  Okay well you don't really have to do that, instead you can try to look at mine.  Taking a picture of this quilt is like trying to have a nice conversation with my in-laws.  You think you've done it, you really do, but nope there's the zinger. 

The 100" Star

I have added a video clip especially for my fellow Fall Festival Quilt Visitors so that you may see this giant beauty. 



I made this quilt for my own mother two Christmas's ago.  It has a prairie point binding and the pattern, before I jiggered with it was called Wintergraphix Star by In the Beginning Fabrics.  It truly is 100" square designed for a Queen sized bed.   Now this not so little wayward quilt has come home to me (all the good ones do) and I have learned it wants to be a KING sized quilt.  I'm inclined to agree if only because this 16 point star could benefit from a bit of a drape down the sides thereby allowing the star line flat, shining on the top of the bed.

I am fully prepared to allow the prairie point binding to remain attached and visible in spite of the new 10" extensions.  How will I do it?  Well I guess you'll just have to check back in over the upcoming weeks to find out.

Thanks for Stopping by!
