Love it Rachel!
Love it. I love that the stars are spread out and 80 x 80... Holy Moly woman! :)
awesomesauce? Love the word! But love the quilt even more! I love the print stars popping out from the solid squares. And that red and white border fabric is fabulous...Fandango really is awesome!
You're a good secret keeper...don't think I could keep something that fabulous under wraps for so long!

Your blog always 'makes my day'! Such a talented lady you are and I just love that quilt. Can't wait to get my hands on the book. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful quilt, Rachel. It certainly deserves the cover! Thanks for the book update. I was just wondering ...
Oh she is gorgeous Rachel - a real cover girl! You are so talented! I'm checking to see if I have enough Fandango left to make one JUST like the original. Thanks for all of your inspiration.

L-O-V-E-L-Y!
Oh isn't that pretty! Love the colors!
Love your use of bella solids and just a punch of prints by kate spain! Beautiful!
I must say I love it, too! Good thing I can't reach into my computer screen and get my hands on it. It would disappear. Beautiful!
I love the pattern and the colors you chose are magnificent.
Oh Rachel, this quilt is beautiful! Congratulations on making the cover!!
l.o.v.e. great job Rachel!!
Sio beautiful!
This is spectacular in a soft way. I like it. :)
Absolutley beautiful! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this book! But you go ahead an "pet them" for a while first! You deserve it! congratulations!
Very nice work. Lovely colors!
Keeping things under 'wraps' must be very difficult, indeed! Especially when you love it so much!
Congrats on being the cover super model!
You are an amazing secret keeper! That one would have been beyond difficult to keep to myself. Good work! Your quilt is of course beautiful, and congrats on the cover.
Yes, I do love it. Can't wait for the books to ship out. If they are all this pretty, how are we ever going to catch up?
Congratulations to you and the superstar!
when they first previewed the cover I was already in love with that quilt--now that I see it all out I love it even more!
Congrats on being on the cover - good going. And it is a lovely quilt, named for my favourite summer (ahem, all year round) treat :-)
It's beautiful! I love how the minimal use of prints makes them stand out oh so much more!
I am a bit behind in emails so I am just now seeing the one about your quilt. I have to say it is a GORGEOUS QUILT! LOVE IT! Congrats on the cover shot too. How exciting for you. Great job.
Nicely done! Your quilt is wonderful, I really love it.
The cover photo doesn't do her justice. I love the simple patterns that let the fabric be the "star". Beautiful work!
Deborah
Love, love, love this quilt! It is certainly much prettier than the book cover.
Karen
I don't usually use solids in my quilts, but yours is spectacular! Congrats on making the cover too. The quilt is beautiful!

Somehow I just came across this - sometimes I'm a late bloomer. I LOVE THIS QUILT. I'm going to get the book just so I can make this one.
Also, I hope your husband is healing well after his surgery.
