Bev made this lovely Night Stars quilt, pattern by Emily Dennis of Quilty Love. She used a great combination of teal/blues with a light beige background. The stars are a Northcott print called Whispering Pines, the dark blue is One Sister Basics by Janet Nesbitt and the background is a Zen Chic Paper and Ink collection.
I quilted it with the Bountiful Feathers pantograph, used a light grey So Fine thread and Quilters Dream 80/20 batting. I am trying a new role of 120" wide 80/20 batting as the last two rolls of the 120" wide Blend 70/30 had a lot of flaws and rolled in a mess! It has also been inconsistent in its loft and feeling stiffer than the 92" rolls of Blend. I have a feeling the two different widths of batting are manufactured in a different facility so time to switch it out the120" width for the 80/20. I like the feel of the 80/20, its a bit lighter and softer, and drapes well off the bed. So I'll have the Blend 70/30 in the 92" width and the 80/20 in the 120" width from now on.
Perfect piecing, the last photo shows that so well, and a grand size for the bed, love the swirls you quilted.
