3D PopStars ! Completed top....basted for quilting.

 I gave a peek at this project in my last post. It was made from a free pattern offered by the FatQuarterShop.  I first saw the block on a post by Pat Sloan on one of her daily videos.

 I pieced it on my old Singer 15-91, and am happy with the results.  I added an inner border of the same fabric as the shadow.  I think that it greatly improves the impact of the final pieced border.

 This is a fabric that I came across in one of Fabric.com's Friday half-price days.  It's from Stopf of France, and is 62 inche wide !  I love the size of the print, and the colors were stunning.  A bit brighter than the quilt's top, but a nice surprise when turning the quilt, I hope.

  Last Wednesday I took a day for myself, and just moved the living room furniture out of the way for an afternoon of quilt-basting.  I'm still an advocate of thread-basting, as I think it gives less opportunity for the top fabric to shift much, as opposed to pin-basting.  I have yet to try any kind of basting spray.
