Star Pulse Bonus Quilt

 When piecing the Star Pulse quilt top, there were extra half-square triangle blocks that developed. Then, an additional small quilt top can be sewn out of the extra blocks. This is my completed quilt from the bonus blocks.


I quilted it in a cross hatch and then added these small curves crossing the center. It does make the quilte a little puffy which is nice.


I used this cat Tula Pink fabric for the backing since I had a couple of yards. 


The binding is "bubbles" leftover from a baby quilt a few years ago. I have been collecting leftover bindings in a basket that can quickly be pulled out. This binding was just big enough for this quilt. 


I am now enjoying my small quilt from the bonus blocks. Thanks to  Quilting Jet Girl for this "extra pattern". Plus, it's always great to use up leftovers. I am posting my finish to the Star Pulse Quilt Along Linkup





 



Star Pulse - Shades of Teal and Blue

I had been following along for the Star Pulse Quilt Along at Quilting Jet Girl's Blog I finished my Star Pulse quilt top a few weeks ago. I chose teal colors for the quilt top. I worked at it to get it quilted and bound. 


The quilting was done in a wave following the edge of the walking foot. It did get very repetitious but I like how it came out.


For the backing, I pieced some yardage that I had in the house that were shades of blue.


I am posting my finish at Yvonne's linkup for Star Pulse QAL. Thank you so much, Yvonne, for this fun pattern and Quilt Along. I will be looking forward to the next annual Quilt Along.
