Shine bright like a diamond

My Starburst quilt is finished and I LOVE IT! It's the best quilt I've ever made.
Min Starburst quilt er ferdig og JEG ELSKER DEN! Det er den fineste quilten jeg har lagd noensinne.

Let me share som photos with you:)
La meg dele noen bilder med dere:)

Here you can see the quilting pattern quite well.
Her kan du se quiltingen ganske bra.

I used 2 similar prints from the fat quarter bundle to make the binding.
Jeg brukte 2 lignende trykk til lukkekanten.

To get this finished today, I had to machine quilt the binding. I didn't like how much "flap" there was on the back and added a second line of top stitching to secure it in place, which worked out well.
For å bli ferdig til i dag, sydde jeg på lukkekanten med maskin. Men jeg likte ikke hvor mye ekstra kant det var på baksiden og sydde en ekstra søm et par mm inn og det funket fint.

Love how vibrant this is!
Elsker hvordan fargene stråler!

    Absolutely gorgeous Marit - it's lovely. Did you back the quilt in flannel? Looks like it will be perfect for snuggling under.

    Everything about it is *really* lovely - your choice of fabrics and the way they're balanced, the quilting and the binding.

    Your quilt is beautiful! I have relatives in Norway (and a few friends too)..family is near Solvorn. I have visited once and could easily stay and quilt in my great grandparents home that is still there!
