Sedona Star
This amazing quilt was a labor of love and a year in the making by my friend and customer, Shari. The pattern is Sedona Star, by Sarah Vedeler. I used at least a dozen thread colors, all Glide brand by Fil-Tec. Finished size is 106″ square and contains a lot of my heart and soul 😉 Enjoy the picture overload!
I use my favorite quilting rulers for ditch stitching and as resistance against the hopping foot when I outline around the applique.
All of the inside quilting is hand guided. I changed thread colors to blend with each fabric. I like a balanced mix of ruler work and free motion curves.
I did use a digitized computer design for the wide border.
The back is almost as beautiful and definitely looks galaxy-like, fitting of the title, “Sedona Star”.

This is probably a dumb question but how do you remember what motif you have done on a particular area when you advance the quilt forward? I’m always afraid I’ll do the wrong motif in an area. Thanks!

Just “discovered” you through a Sarah Vedeler link. Amazing piecework AND really amazing quilting. I have the pattern, so now am encouraged to get going with it. Looking forward to following you on your blog. The full picture is on Sarah’s blog.

Kelly, LOVE it! I also found you thru Sarah Vedeler’s link. Beautiful quilting! The photo of the back had me confused for a bit, then realized it’s a multi-colored confetti print & the quilting almost made it look pieced to match the front! Gorgeous! I LOVE when the back gives you the impression of what’s on the front & your quilting did that. My hand-quilting group recently thought we were finished with one member’s quilt & I insisted we look at the back. Sure enough, not enough quilting to indicate what the stitched lines were about!
