I made this wall hanging after having seen the one Lucy made.
It was a good occasion to use some of my reproduction fabrics.
I quilted that one by hand and unfortunately the marking didn´t come off the white fabric. I washed, bleached to no avail. But the fans were great and easy to quilt. After being washed, the quilt wrinkled a bit to get that old look which I like. The back was a special fabric I bought in Paris but as I had o

Hi Gwen, thanks for visiting my blog! I love your 'Lucy's Stars'. Especially how you did the label on the back with the girl from the backing fabric - it looks so pretty.
Your little quilt is wonderful ! I really like it. I've seen the one Lucy has made and would like to make one since a long time.
OOhh my goodness!! This is so BEAUTIFUL! I am happy that a quilt of mine inspired you so much. ANd your quilting is also greta . What a pity that the marking lines didn't erase :-/ What did you use??
Fabulous quilt! I love the colors and the quilting. Nice job!
The reproduction quilt is gorgeous as is your quilting. Can't wait to get your siggie! I, too, cannot function if I don't get into my sewing room at least once a day.
It's very very nice!!!!ciao ciao
What a beautiful quilt! The quilting stitches look wonderful and I can't see any markings at all in the photos. Perhaps they'll fade with time, no worries.
That is the cutest little star quilt! I just love stars! And the colour combination is wonderful. Sorry to hear your markings didn't come out, hopefully tey'll fade in time.
Hallo,
der Quilt ist ja wunderschön. Ich habe auch schon ab und zu Lucys Seite und ihre Quilts bewundert. Einen kleinen habe ich auch schon genäht, aber leider noch nicht gequiltet. Kommt aber sicher auch noch.
Liebe Grüße

Hi Gwen, pleased to meet you! Your Lucy's Stars is beautiful! Love, Giusy
Your quilt turned out beautifully. Don't working about the marking, I've seen antique quilts that still have pencil marks and that doesn't matter at all - they are still marvelous.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your stars like Lucy's! Don't you just love her stuff! I'm working on one like this also, just haven't gotten very far yet.
