Falling Stars {a New Quilt Pattern!} + Finished or Not Friday {a Linky Party!}

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

Meet Falling Stars, my newest quilt pattern!  Instructions are written for 6 sizes from baby to king!  Larger HSTs are used as the quilts get larger, so the bed size quilts don't take forever with a zillion tiny HSTs!!  You'll finish it faster!

The cover quilt is a Large Lap.  The pattern comes with a Small Lap size for children or shorter people {like me!} and a Large Lap size for you tallies.  This quilt was made with Kona Cotton HSTs.  They made this quick pattern even faster!  An Accuquilt Go! makes fast work of HSTs, too, and there are Accuquilt dies that coordinate with some of the HSTs sizes in the pattern.

I ♥ the texture the wavy quilting brings out.  This is the second quilt I've used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting (rather than 100% cotton), so I don't know yet if the texture is from the quilting or from the new type of batting.  The backing is a be-still-my-beating-heart blue Hatch by Timeless Treasures ♥♥♥.

Here's an EQ7 mockup of the quilt with a white background.  I'm hoping to get a baby size made with lovely Lecien Flower Sugar fabrics using a white background soon!

This pattern was inspired by a fabric designed by Ellen Baker of The Long Thread, and this pattern is written with the permission of the fabric designer.  The fabric is #13085 in the Quilt Blocks Collection by Moda.

Please purchase your copy of Falling Stars in my Craftsy shop or my Etsy shop. If you are from the European Union, please purchase your copy from my Etsy shop.  I offer discounts on purchasing multiple patterns at a time in my Etsy shop!

Thank you so much, all of you!

The winner of the grocery bag is Julie of One More Thing Before I Dye!And I did make another bag so the handles are correct, and you'll be getting the real deal, Julie!

The bag is made from a pattern by Michelle's Patterns, an Indie Designer on Craftsy.  You can find the pattern HERE.  The pattern includes three sizes, and this bag is the medium size.  The handles are designed to fit onto the metal bag holders at the grocery store to make filling them easier, and the handles are short enough to not drag the bag on the ground when carried {super important for height-impaired people like me!}

Last week's most viewed link was Carla's Scrappy Star!

My favorite link was Susie's Panda Pillow!  I'm seeing my sofa stuffed with a menagerie of pillows very soon!

It's your turn to share your finish {or not}!  What's welcome at this party?  Any in-progress or finished project made with fabric, yarn, or thread is welcome!  Include the Finished or Not Friday button or a text link that links back to this week's link-up in order to share the fun.  No, I won't delete your link if you don't, but hey, adding a link in your post is just being friendly, so be friendly and share!!

I will pin your links to my Finished or Not Friday Pinterest board to get your link more exposure.
