I wanted to make a quilt as a gift for my sister (in colors she likes). The quilt came back from a longarmer with problems so it was not gift-able. Options were to pull the quilting/stitches and re-quilt it or to remake the quilt again. Since it is a gift I made the quilt again, and found a different person to do the quilting. It all turned out well in the end because now I know a talented local longarmer who was just terrific during this process. This second quilt (pictured here) turned out wonderful. I am so grateful to the longarmer SandraLynn (won't list full name for her privacy). It is a queen size (large queen). Made with Moda Black Tie Fabric 5" charms using the Field Full of Dreams pattern by Pleasant Valley Creations. The first not gift-able quilt is on our guest bed for now. This second one (pictured) will be gifted to my sister.

Made this for my oldest son. He's my outdoorsman so the Hunter's Star was perfect for him. I used a lot of blues and oranges from my stash and Jennifer Sampou's Feathers in Smoke. I cut my own charm squares except for the white background, those were Kona White. Jenny's Hunter Star tutorial was very helpful in completing the piecing. I add an additional row and column and added multiple borders. The final size was a very generous queen size. This is the first quilt that I quilted lots of feathers on, after a lot of practicing.
