Starry Night

OK...I have never loaded this many pictures before so lets see how this works. Starry Night was the Thimbleberries quilt for this year and I didn't actually use all of the block patterns. Some of them just didn't appeal to me so I had to adjust my quilt. Improvising with a piece of paneling to have a large enough surface was the first and it worked really well to sandwich the backing, batting and front. Then I pinned all three together and began to stipple on the machine. It took a total of 3 days, working a few hours each, to finish the quilt and as you can see, it is now on our bed! I love it!
I will now start another row of Sylvia's sampler and ready myself for another Thimbleberries quilt this next year.
So, we are now snuggling down at night under two quilts and some fluffy pillows and winter, which has arrived stays away.
