This quilt, Weedwhacker Star, I made based on Bonnie Hunter’s Weed whacker pattern.  I made it for my daughter.  The top has been completed for a while – since November 2007.  Part of my reluctance to quilt it is that my daughter still takes markers to her room and colors things that shouldn’t be colored with markers.  The other part of my reluctance is how to quilt it  to make it shine. This was my first truly scrappy quilt.  I used a bunch of purple strips that I swapped with others on an online quilting forum that I belonged to years ago.
