\"Altered<\/a>

Altered Lemoyne quilting begins<\/p><\/div>\n

This altered Lemoyne Star quilt top was started by my brother Jim many<\/span> years ago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All the stars were pieced and many of the blocks assembled when I received it to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quilt top is now complete with a plain double border attached.\u00a0 The dusty rose narrow border echos a common color used throughout the top and the black border sets off all the colors of the quilt.\u00a0 The backing is black-on-black tonal and the thread is beige Gutermann cotton quilting thread to match the muslin block background.\u00a0 I like the way it’s coming together.<\/span><\/p>\n

I plan to quilt each printed patch 1\/4″ from it’s edge.\u00a0 The beige thread should show on most pieces and will be dazzling on the quilt back.<\/span><\/p>\n

My most recent quilts had bedsheets for backing but this quilt is backed with 108″ wide fabric purchased from my dandy new supplier (see previous post).\u00a0 The difference in ease of quilting is phenomenal!\u00a0 I’ve chosen a simple double egg-n-dart border quilting design with a Celtic flair (barely visible in the photo)<\/span>.\u00a0 Celtic designs I’ve done in the past have been very well received.\u00a0 I love the intricate appearance with ease of execution.\u00a0 As we say in our house, “It’s just running stitches… zillions of running stitches!”
