I missed the last of Amy's fabulous festivals so I am determined to be in on the fun this time around.
The quilt I want to show today is one you may have seen before (before it was quilted).
I had intended on giving it to my parents for a house warming gift a few months ago but ... well .... life got pretty busy and I have only recently finished it.
So instead it will be a birthday present for my mum in a few weeks time.
It will live on my parents' dark green leather couch so I used a very plain dark green backing fabric to offset all the colour and movement on the front of the quilt.
I quilted it with simple straight lines on either side of the seams.
This gave little stars of david where the quilting lines met. A nice (and unexpected) touch for a Japanese style quilt that will live in Jewish home.
I know my mum will love it. After all, she bought the quilt kit in the first place!!
I'm so glad to finally be able to give her the finished quilt and see it being used and snuggled under in her new home.
Thanks for visiting.
Head over to Amy's to see all the other festival quilts.
(Make sure you have plenty of time and a cuppa. There's always hundreds of amazing entries).

Gosh there are so many gorgeous fabrics in that quilt. i think everytime you look at it you will find something different. I love those type of quilts.
What a fabulous quilt, I love the mix of the rich colours on the front and the green on the back and how cool those stars of David appeared! I love your blog header too.
What a beautiful luxurious quilt. Great selection of fabrics and a simple and effective pattern to show them off. The quilted Star of David is really special.
Hi Andi! Love your blog - just found it on RPQ's site. You are crazy talented, woman! I never thought of putting Hebrew on a quilt - what a lovely idea for gifts for my dear Jewish friends. Can I borrow it? And your name - well, it's totally cool.
