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!
