This is my quilt for the Tangerine Tango Quilt Challenge. The stars are my Solstice Stars, tutored by Faith at Fresh Lemon Quilts. Two of them are paper pieced (second from top and right star).
Dit is mijn quilt voor de Tangerine Tango Quilt Challenge. De sterren zijn mijn Solstice Stars, die door Faith beschreven werden op Fresh Lemon Quilts. Two daarvan heb ik ge-paper pieced (tweede van boven en de rechtse ster)
Because of the quilting of my Distant Stars, I decided to stay with 'straight' line quilting and not try go into Free Motion Quilting anymore.
Het quilten met 'rechten' lijnen van deze quilt is me zo goed bevallen, dat ik me niet langer meer ga verdiepen in Free Motion Quilting. Dit past veel beter bij mij.
I also did some hand quilting.
Ik heb ook een deel met de hand gequilt.

It's wonderful Simone! Your stars are lovely and the colors all go so well together. I like how you did your quilting too!
Captivating quilt, Simone! There is many surprising detail on it, so it doesn't need any quilted curves.
This is wonderful Congratulations on finishing.
I love it and I love how you paired the different shades of tangerines and blues.

Ik heb hem in het echt mogen bewonderen en dan is hij nog mooier. Het is een hele vrolijke quilt geworden.
WOW, Simone! This is sooo elegant! I like the pairing of the warm citrus-y colors with the cool aqua blues... A real masterpiece! :o) Happy weekend ((HUGS))

Such a harmonious color combo. I love how you set the blocks and the straight line machine and additional hand quilting really make this quilt sing a very happy tune. I love it.
Beautiful quilt! Like a holiday somewhere warm, with oranges and turquoise sea in the sun.
Great!! Especially the stars in these special colours!!
Best wishes

Love the quilting stitches, looks amazing against the blue. Great looking contemporary quilt.
Beautiful! I love the blues with your tangerine blocks. It reminds me of a warm, tropical island.

Fabulous, it makes me think of summer at the beach - your stars are wonderful.
You have such 'vision'!! I'm just loving this. I think the straight line quilting was just the right technique for this particular quilt. You've been pretty busy, haven't you?? ~karen
