Batik quilts are always so rich looking and this Star Quilt is no exception. The piano key border really frames the blocks perfectly!
Speaking of piano key borders or any pieced borders I highly recommend what is known as a victory lap after piecing your quilt top. It is basically stay stitching around the outer edges about 1/8th inch, this will prevent thread pops when handling your quilt top.
We chose the pantograph Star Swirl, as it not only adds the starriness but also adds a sense of movement as well.
The backing fabric is so gorgeous and rich looking and really showcases the pretty stitches.
As usual the quilt is trimmed and ready for binding.
