Dianna Slade's purple lone star quilt is finished! It was some work squaring it up to prepare to be long-arm quilted. Then after Phyllis Oneal quilted it, I squared it up again. Yikes! I got the binding on and am pleased with the outcome. The main thing is it is finished and not just sitting around as an unfinished quilt any longer. I scouted out and found a raised spot, for my two tall young men volunteers, to stand on to hold the quilt. This is a really "big" quilt.
The star and white background was hand-pieced, while the borders were machine-pieced. The very dark purple has a rose pattern in it. This was given, unfinished, to Dianna. I cannot date any of the fabrics, but the dark purple and the floral make me want to think it is from the 1980's or 90's.
