Lone Star Eagle Quilt

Motivated by my 4 nephews who made Eagle Scout, I made this Eagle Star Quilt.

Then being reminded of God's word, I embroidered the scripture in Isaiah "They shall mount up with wings as Eagles", under the Eagle Star on the quilt.

So it would fit a king size bed, I made surrounding stars for the border. I did a small stipple around the star to give the trapunto effect. I stitched in the ditch so the diamonds would elevate and come outward.

I loved doing it so much I am now working on my 2nd Eagle Star Quilt. It does take a bit more counting of the triangles in the strips and doing some half triangles. I am so challenged by this and I love it. Can't wait to see what #2 will look like when its done.

I found a similar lone star quilt on the internet that I used to pattern mine after so I can't take full credit for design, but I did design it with the borders, embroidery, etc.
