This summer, I found these cool University of Kentucky fabrics
online at Hancock.
I bought half a yard of all 4 pieces and started searching online
for some inspiration.
It did not take long to come across the wonky star quilt pattern.
I have never done a quilt pattern that required so much
cutting and measuring.
This was going to be my quilting project while the kids were in school.
But it was also going to be a surprise for the biggest UK fan in my life.
A surprise that I was going to try and keep hidden till December 20.
I was able to keep it hidden for 3 months. But once I put it
on the quilting frame, it was no longer a secret.
I enjoy hand quilting very much.
I joked with an old friend telling her that I get restless hand
syndrome when I am not working on something.
Two birthdays ago, Larry Denzil bought me this quilting frame.
Last week was the first time I had a quilt on it.
I must say, this is by far the best birthday gift ever!
I was able to quilt this entire quilt, about a full size, in less than
a week.
Yes, I am a dork! I staged it.
This is also the first time I have ever used black backing.
I love how the stars show up on the black fabric.
All quilted and bound, Larry Denzil now has a quilt to wrap up in
while watching his Beloved UK basketball.
Even though it is only October,
Happy 16th Anniversary Larry Denzil.
