My Summer Picnic Quilt top was Long Arm Machine Quilted using Quilter's Dream Cotton Batting - Deluxe loft. 

The quilting pattern is Rhapsody Star by Christy Sr. & Christy Jr. of My Creative Stitches, a mother and daughter design team. 

The stitched stars and little ribbon swirls bring the pieced pattern to completion!

Quilted, trimmed and ready for binding.

I used the same border fabric for the binding.  It makes the border look likes it flows right off the quilt and the large red corner blocks get a fun floral outline.

Yahoo!  This quilt is complete and ready for a picnic....indoors or out!
