More feathered stars

I can't decide what to do with this quilt top.  This is the one I referred to in my last post - the paper pieced top that has been a WIP for a while.

The problem is I still love the design, but I'm not mad about the fabric I used.  I started the quilt, just to see if I liked it, without really putting much thought into the fabric.  So it sort of limped along until it got to this point.  I pull it out every now and then, do a little on it, then lose interest again.

This quilt is more about the quilting anyway I guess, so it will improve when I get around to that part of it.  For now it's got tea stains, vegemite toast marks (thanks to the boys) and corgi footprints across it.  So it's looking pretty uninspiring.  I can't bind it until I've done all the stuffing, and I can't wash it until I've done the binding.

I guess it will just limp along a little more, in between other projects.

Perhaps you are just jaded because you work with such beautiful fabrics every day:)

It will be a beauty. I like the simplicity of it - and sometimes the quilts that really limp along are the ones we love the most when they're finished.

My motto is - you can't criticise a quilt until you've got the binding on. It is amazing how much that half inch of colour completes the design.

I'm intrigued about the stuffing - how do you do that?

That is so so beautiful. Do not give up on this baby. Your work this far is too wonderful to leave unfinished. You made my day! Thank you.
