Amy @ Park City Girl has organized a quilt show for bloggers. Can I resist this? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I have a lot of quilts to choose from (hey, I've been quilting for 9 yrs.) So, how do I choose? Which one of your children do you love more? Can't choose between them. However, there are days when you like one better than the others. I chose this quilt because it not only makes my skirt fly up (yes, most of my quilts do that to me) but because it was complex and I really started making these stars without a plan as to how I was going to put this quilt together. I really stayed "in the moment" with it as I made it. If you have not tried this, I highly recommend it. It will take you to a destination you had never dreamed about and the process is highly satisfying. (It is like good sex or a really long run. When you are done, you exhaustedly think, "Wow, I should really do this more often.")
So, here is my "Starry Night" quilt. The picture was taken 3 yrs ago so my children are no longer that little and definitely not that sweet. (Well my daughter is, but my son, not so much. He is, however, bright, funny and creative, just not so sweet as he used to be.) Enjoy, I'm going to go look at more quilts. Show and tell makes my skirt fly up!

I love how you say "which one of your children do you love more". This was exactly how I felt when I had to choose the few quilts I've made. They are all so special to me!
This is amazing. Maybe in 9 years of experience, I'll be able to attempt one of these! ;-)

Breathtaking colours and stars!!
Love you Starry Night! All the colors are so vibrant and beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us :)
WOW! This is fabulous. I too enjoy working in such a way that I am not entirely sure what the end result will be. There is a certain "excitement" working that way don't you think?
It does remind me of a starry, bright, beautiful night!
Lovely quilt!

Shelly,
This is a gorgeous quilt that you have created- I love star quilts and there are some wonderful patterns out there. None is more beautiful than yours.
You may want to check out Judy Martin's books if you are looking for some additional inspiration.
