Red and White Hunter's Star, Quilted and Bound

I am making progress on red and white quilts for my foyer.  Here is the second one, quilted and bound:


This Hunter's Star quilt was made using Deb Tucker's Rapid Fire Hunter Star Ruler.  It was a big help for my accuracy and speed of piecing.  There is some waste, but I have more fabric than time, so that is ok with me.  This is a small quilt, 42" x 52".

For some reason, the backing looks pink in this picture, but it is the same Bella Solid Christmas Red as the front.  Vicki Johnson of Threads that Bind Us did the longarming, and she chose the cardinal pantograph.  One of my next projects needs to be to label my red and white quilts,  so I can remember who did the quilting on them.  Since I have been working at the quilt shop, I have used several different quilters.


I have room for at least 3 more red and white quilts.
