Norwegian Star Quilt

km1

This is Karen’s Norwegian Star Quilt and it is a pattern by Marie’s Quilt Designs.  Karen was able to find the same fabrics as on the pattern cover and I just love this quilt!    I did a panto design in the centre, called Bora Bora, and custom quilted the borders with loops, snowflakes and bead board.  I used a soft blue So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

I seriously need to make this quilt as it looks so good in my guest room!

  1. that's lovely. I have to ask... what's the difference between beadboard and piano key?

    1. Piano key is a single line of stitching with about 1 inch spacing between lines whereas Bead board is two lines of stitching ( spaced 1/8" to 1/4" apart) and this double line of stitching is repeated with about a 1 inch spacing across the border. I prefer bead board because of the short 1/8" to 1/4" stitching in the ditch instead of the 1 inch stitch in the ditch with piano keys.
