Charming Stars top

I finally finished the Charming Stars quilt top , a SAL with Terry of Terry's Treasures . I am a little slow but at least it is now in the ready to be quilted category .
It is 74" square so a decent size lap quilt for my grandson Christopher , he saw it on my design wall and fell in love with it . I was going to go find fabric for the border but decided I would be thrifty and use up the rest of those shirts and just pieced random pieces , I could have done better with that but I still think it looks ok and I don't think Christopher will complain . Now to piece a backing , I do have fabric that will do that job nicely so I won't have to visit the fabric shop afterall ;-)
 What a gorgeous day here , spring is in the air and I think I will get dressed now and head on out for a little walk in the fresh air I think I earned it after finishing this up .
 Hope you have a wonderful day , thanks for stopping by .
 hugs Sheila

    Love it Sheila and well done on the finished top!! I'm not surprised your grandson nabbed it! I pieced my first Charming Stars block yesterday so you are very fast compared to me!!

    It's beautiful! I've always wanted to make a quilt in those colors, and I love the plaids! :0)

    Yes, that is a nice quilt, especially for a male. It's so nice having young people love what we do. Nice weather here, too. That sun feels good, doesn't it?

    This will be a cozy quilt for your grandson... it's a special thing when a young boy falls in love with a quilt. My son claimed one of mine once when it was still on the design wall... made me so happy!
