Star Surround Quilt Top

My top is done!! I am doing a little happy dance right now! In case you haven't read any of my other posts, I have been participating in a quilt along by Happy Quilting. This was my very first quilt a long and a lot of fun! I don't think I have gotten a quilt top done this fast - ever!! And I love it! Here my top is in all its glory! This thing is huge, I made the biggest size option because I always need big quilts, not small ones! The pictures are not that great because I had to lay it out on the grass in order to get it all in the picture!

I was a little bit hesitant about the green for the background, but I really love how it accentuates the purple and aqua.

I tell you I am loving this quilt! This square with the dark purple surround is probably my favorite one, it has such a good contrast.

And here is the top again, I am going to bind it in the lighter purple, and I hope to find some more green for the back.

I am not going to quilt this right away because I am saving up to finally buy my long arm and I want to have something to practice on! So give me a couple of months before you see it completely done!

This is probably my other favorite block, just in case you were wondering. 

Thanks Melissa for doing this it was a lot of fun. And if you haven't checked out her blog you should, she has some talent!

Enjoy!
