Janann’s Amazon Star quilt is so large, I have no place to hang it, but you get the idea.
I love the pink fabric creating a strong circular pattern.
I will admit, that it took me three weeks to finish this! The hardest part was deciding what to do in each element but after that, it was stitch, stitch, stitch!!
If you’re crazy to make this quilt, it’s one of Judy Niemeyer’s patterns.
Thanks for looking and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Hunter Star One is a large quilt by Janann using her favorite blocks and wool batting. The big borders gave me lots of room for freehand stylized feathers with traveling circles.
Isn’t this a great layout?! The first picture shows the color better, if spring returns I’ll be able to take pictures outside! I decided to use a simple freehand medallion design with an outline of the 8 point star.
Wool batting lets the design pop out. For a large quilt, it’s very light in weight, too.
Hunter Star Two is the reject blocks that didn’t make it into One! Janann set the blocks in a secondary square pattern unlike an alternating light dark in One. Scroll back up and look at the difference.
The medallion quilting is similar but looks totally different because of the setting of the blocks. The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select which quilts very flat like cotton. Which setting do you prefer? I like Two!
Here’s the detail of Two’s borders.
And here is Hunter Star Three! Quilted pillow tops! Janann has lots of finishing to do here!
Thanks! 🙂 Linda
Definitely feathers! Every element of this Labyrinth quilt by Lois is quilted with a feather variation. The thread is InvisaFil by WonderFil, which quilted beautifully! I initially planned to match the thread to the fabric but decided to contrast the black fabric with the same brown thread used in the other areas. I love it!
This color palette is difficult to photograph. The first photograph represents the fabric color.
Lois’ Labyrinth quilt is probably the most common pattern, however if you search for “labyrinth quilt” on the internet, you’ll find quite a variety of designs!
The back view highlights the quilting, too! Of course, I love it!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
In honor of our 22 wedding anniversary today, I’m sharing Wedding Bands! The quilt pattern can be found in Judy Martin’s book, Stellar Quilts.
It’s a big one! Much bigger than my hanging space and the space at the Williamsburg Quilt show, where it’s on display this weekend.
My friend and co-worker, Candra, perfectly pieced this quilt and had every intention of hand quilting it for her client.
I was very honored that she entrusted me to quilt it similar to the quilting design in Judy Martin’s book. Candra added additional borders to the quilt, giving me space to extend the quilting theme of ghosted blocks surrounded by feathers. I thoroughly enjoyed quilting this but after having it on the frame for 2 1/2 weeks, I took a break!
The thread is a matching So Fine! #50 in each area. The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select. Enjoy the pictures and thanks for looking!
🙂 Linda
