Supernova Complete!!!

Supernova is ALL done!!!

I am thrilled with the out come! Finished size: 62 x 80!


As I have mentioned, I made this for my hubby, so I made it how I knew he would like it - which meant light quilting. He loves the back to be soft, and prefers minimal quilting for that.


To accomplish as little quilting as possible on the back, I quilted the top in straight lines just onto the batting. Then, I basted that to the back and quilted just the outlines of the big blocks. It turned out great.

And I was so excited, that I gave it to him yesterday! Two weeks early. :) He loves it!!


I am thrilled to have participated in this amazing quilt-a-long, and would like to thank Lee for hosting it, and sharing this truly amazing pattern with us. I will absolutely be making another Supernova in the very near future!!!

    Beautiful quilt, Linz! I know your husband loves it! I like the idea of quilting the top to the batting. I'll have to remember that one...

    Oh look how gorgeous!! I love it. Did you have any problems with the dark backing fabric showing through to the front? I've always been scared to have such a contrast (my long-armer has instilled that in me!).

    Your colors are super especially for a man's quilt. I think it is difficult to find fabric for a man. I love the back of it.

    Wow, I think you did a great job! Especially for a "manly" quilt, those can be such a challenge :) I love the way you played with light and dark fabrics on this quilt and the way those color choices really create movement within the quilt. Great job!!
