A Star is Born for SUU!!!

 It's another SUU Quilt share day!!  You all know I just love making Red, White, and Black quilts for my Alma Mater!!! And since Homecoming has come and gone, I can now share this A Star is Born quilt from my Charming Baby Quilts Book!!   And yes, It isn't baby sized, I upsized the piecing :)  And I just love it ;)

For this version of A Star is Born, I used White and Black prints from the Fleur Noire Collection from Riley Blake.  It is another perfect match for an Alma Mater quilt and paired with a Blossom Red background, those black and white prints just pop!!!!   I used 7" squares to start instead of 5" squares to make this quilt.   And I so just love the scrappy binding made with the leftovers  :) It truly is my favorite way to finish a quilt!! 

And once again, I added a layered applique to the corner of the quilt of the schools mascot. The sky is truly the limit when doing this fun method of applique!!   And it is so great for personalizing quilts!!  You can find the step by step tutorial here for layered applique :)   

When it came time to quilt this Fast & Fun Lap Quilt  I decided on an all over swirl ;)  Mostly because I can quilt that super fast, and I was on a total time crunch for this one.     And of course, a red thread was perfect for this quilt.  

And that is my SUU A Star is Born quilt from my Charming Baby Quilts Book with a supersized edit!  This version of A Star is Born finishes at 72" x 72" so it is a great size for a lap quilt ;)  Oh, and if you make your own A Star is Born quilt, (in any size) I would love to see it!!  You can share your quilts with me on social media using hashtag #happyquiltingwithmc and #charmingbabyquilts and tag me @happyquiltingmc or you can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com.   

Thanks so much for popping in for another quilt finish!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!
