to the Stars"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>93&#8243;x93&#8243;<\/p>\n<p>This quilt was made by a client of mine, Sue Lawson from Wisconsin.\u00a0 It is constructed of quilting cottons as well as some satins.\u00a0 It is Sue Mathieson&#8217;s pattern.<\/p>\n<p>The quilt has wool batting, and is stitched with predominantly gold Glide thread.<\/p>\n<p>It is expected that this will be displayed at some quilt shows, so it was fully custom quilted.\u00a0 The stars around the checkerboard border were all ditch stitched, and a simple treatment was swirled in alternating rays.\u00a0 The centers received feathered wreaths.\u00a0 Star backgrounds were densely pebbled to help the stars to pop.\u00a0 The client especially requested feathers, so the outer region of the checkerboard background was quilted with free-meandering feathers.\u00a0 The center medallion (the Costa Rican Cartwheel) was also feathered, while the gold background received curved cross-hatching.\u00a0 I use a number of textures (straight stitching with more textural stitching) to create variety.\u00a0 Rays were quilted every 5 degrees out from the center medallion.\u00a0 Then to accentuate the rays, every other one was densely back-filled.\u00a0 The effect is dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>This quilt is published in the 2014 Quilt Arts Engagement Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
