Milky Way Quilt

During the time that I have been blogging and quilting, I have been apart of a LQS (Local Quilt Shop) monthly sampler. They call it Saturday Sampler, LOL!! I have only ever finished one of their quilts, that is until this quilt! I had so much fun with the colors that I knew I would finish it. Here are a few of the finished blocks.

As I am working on a quilt, I like to draw a sketch to see what I need to do finish it. I thought I would add my sketch here. Sorry about the shadow, I only ever meant for me to see it, HA HA!!

Now my quilt is a top. I need to finish it and quilt it. I think because this quilt is so busy, I need to just do an all over stipple. I hope to be back soon with it all quilted up.

I am also joining in with Red Letter Quilts' link-up party, OMG, One Monthly Goal. I am listing this quilt as my goal. I would like to have it quilted by the end of August. I don't think that will be too hard for me to do. I can't wait to see it finished. I hope that I have not set myself up for failure. But I won't know until I try! I hope everybody has a good evening.

  1. Wow, Shannon, that is a gorgeous quilt! I love the bright colors, and the black is the perfect background to set those off. Whoop whoop for a luscious finish!

  2. The colors are beautiful, it would be hard to pick a favorite! I love the sashing you planned for this too, it really unites them well. Good Luck with your goal!

  3. Looks great! I love what you did with the sashing and borders to pull it all together. I'm in an all over stippling mode right now too. Congrats on finishing a beautiful quilt top!

  5. The print you've used in the sashing and borders highlights the bright colors in the blocks so well!
