Guild Boutique Handmade Lone Star Wall Quilt

40” x 40”

New and Unique from GloryQuilts!

Suitable for traditional décor or a cottage style, this classic radiant star wallhanging is the perfect accent for your home. It looks elegant over the piano or fireplace, on a table or draped over a couch. It is a lovely focal point for a staircase, too! The creamy butter yellow (not margarine!) is actually a very fine yarn-dyed plaid. The other colors are rich pastels – not too summery to use all year, and definitely a welcome sight in February!

The border is mitered to create interesting effects in the large-scale floral print. I selected a cerulean blue fabric for the double (French) binding, and it frames the quilt nicely. I miter my bindings on both sides of the quilt, and it is handstitched neatly and securely on the back. I have attached a split sleeve, so the quilt is ready to hang. You will need an inexpensive dowel, available at the discount or hardware store, and a nail or two (or cup hooks) to mount it on the wall.

The free-motion quilting was done on my regular sewing machine in two colors. I did not want to break up the bold impact of the star, so I used blue there. For the rest of the quilt, I stitched with a cream color. You can see that I replicated the star pattern on the reverse side of the quilt. The backing fabric is a solid yellow cotton.

The quilt was a quilt class sample, so I used only 100% top quality cotton fabrics from my local quilt store. It has a Warm n Natural (TM) needlepunched cotton batting, which gives it that antique quilt feel - thin enough to use as a wall quilt or tablerunner or over the back of your sofa. Cotton batting has a nice drape to it - very flexible and not puffy like a polyester batt. The quilting thread is Egyptian long staple mercerized cotton. I don't mean to bore you with technicalities, but all of these details contribute to a quilt of heirloom quality and unusual beauty.

The discerning buyer will understand the difference between an heirloom-quality quilt or garment and those cheap imports of inferior workmanship that are being sold as "hand crafted" by the thousand. Each of my items is very personal. The fabrics are carefully selected and prewashed to rid them of the chemicals used in manufacturing and to complete the shrinkage. Some items are pieced and quilted on my sewing machine, but they are just as individual and high quality as those I stitch by hand. I make the quilts, accessories and garments in my home. No one here smokes, and the animals all live outdoors!

I mail everything by priority mail within a few days of the completed sale. If you purchase more than one item, I can almost always offer a significant reduction in the cost of shipping multiple items. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at all. Thank you for considering the addition of a Glory Quilts creation to your collection.
