New Skill: Complimentary Quilts

This was the original lap quilt I had in mind when I purchased my Peter Pan fabric. Having finished the center panel with the pieced boarders, I started working on the twin sized one (posted a while back). After coming up with the idea for pieced stars, I decided I should add some on this quilt to help tie the two together. The quilts don’t match, but they are complimentary.
I had this quilt top finished over a year ago, but it sat in a drawer while I thought of how I wanted to quilt it. Sometime this year, I discovered a new quilt shop in my area and since I was playing the “you can only work on projects that you’ve already started” game, I decided I might as well have it quilted there.
Since I had used up my original backing fabric on my other Peter Pan quilt, I had to get something else. The quilt shop had this wonderful, soft, fluffy blue fabric, so I went with that. I’m already excited about it, but I’m sure we will all be very happy with that decision when winter rolls around.
