 Finally finished this quilt. The top was completed in 2013. It is the mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter called Celtic Mystery. I made it smaller than her top. Mine is 75" square and I quilted on my Bernina 780 using the embroidery hoop and the Gingko leaves pattern from Amelie Scott Jumbo pack 1. It will be a gift for a family member.

Urban Owls my way

My Urban Owl quilt hanging on my dining room wall. 
The pattern is by Wendy Williams of the flyingfish company. But I did modify it a bit. I  changed the pattern of 3 of the corner stars and I also changed the dimensions of the first border around the central block. 
I needle turn appliqued, and machine pieced the top. 
To the back I added a needle turn applique of a branch with a nest, my original design using the leaves and branch at the front for inspiration.

Back corner label. I will hand write on it.

 

Inspired by the Barn Star Quilt

This quilt top was made with some orphan blocks (previously made), and star blocks that can be found in the book "Barn Star Sampler...
