Yesterday I mentioned I would not show any pictures until I had the main part of my Allietare assembled and ready for trimming. I had some free time in the afternoon, and got that last seam together, and ironed. Trimming is next and border decisions need to be made. I will open up that pattern one more time and see what Bonnie Hunter recommended, then decide just how big I want the finished quilt to be. It currently measures 71 x 85. I have a king size bed, so thinking the borders will have to be carefully considered.
Not much will happen in my sewing room until nearly dinner time, but I ask you to “wish me luck” as I proceed!
Note: pattern is by Bonnie Hunter – the Quiltville Winter Mystery 2015, Allietare. I changed 2 of the recommended colors – I chose green instead of grey, and brown instead of black. I used a constant red; and a constant gold for the center of the stars, and went scrappy with the smaller gold pieces and the neutrals.

Thank you! I love the pattern (except for those darn headless geese)

I love your colors and the quilt pattern. I assembled mine a couple weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. So much so, that I did another with blue batiks and yellow. I did not follow Bonnie Hunter’s pattern for the curved border, but made way too many of the headless geese, so made a few more and used that as a border along with a narrow black border and bound it in black. It turned out beautifully, I think.

Hi Cheryl – Thanks for taking the time to comment. What I loved about Bonnie is she breaks this outstanding pattern down into nicely manageable parts! I would love to see the pictures of yours!
I’ve seen it done in a couple of color ways on Bonnie’s Facebook page and they are all stunning.

Thanks! Going for king size! Have 2 borders on, measured for the last border this weekend and need to get it going, then it will be time to consider the backing and quilting!
