The Star Surround QAL is nearing the end. To see the other gorgeous Star Surround quilt tops, please visit Happy Quilting’s blog post. You will need to scroll down towards the end of the blog post :). I am still learning to quilt so only did straight line quilting using a walking foot to quilt my Star Surround dolly quilt. I went around the star and the star surround. I also quilted the square outline of the block. For the binding, I used this easiest cheat binding tutorial by Pretty Prudent. My 4yo DD loves her dolly quilt and insisted Belle use it that night :). Here is the dolly bed my husband made for our 4yo DD. It was supposed to be for her 3rd birthday. LOL 15 months late is better than not finishing it at all :). The dolly bed was made using Ana White Homemaker’s Doll Farmhouse Bed tutorial found here. DH initially painted it white but DD insisted the bed be purple so he spray painted it purple. The Star Surround dolly quilt on the dolly bed. Now to make a mattress with matching sheets and pillow :). Two of the chosen fabric used in the dolly quilt is from the fabric range Veranda Screen Print by Amanda Murphy for Robert Kaufman. The purple print is D#11500 and the yellow print is D#...

Yay the end of the Star Surround QAL is nearly here! To find out more information about the Star Surround QAL, please visit Melissa’s blog Happy Quilting. This week’s assignment is to build the block surround. I was too eager to see how the block would look like that I went ahead and finished the block before I could take pics of this week’s assignment. Good to see other quilters also completed their star surround block :). LOL must remember not to choose prints with lines in them. It shows where I haven’t cut straight enough and it sure made it harder with placement for the star’s surround part of the block. Not perfect but I am pretty happy with the results :).
