    Sorry, I thought the bottom star DQ was the back, not a separate quilt from prairiekat, they are both beautiful.

    Thanks kwiltkrazy :) I try to do something new that I've never done every month. I still need to try binding a quilt. I'm too scared to try!

    I know what you mean by the binding being a little intimidating, my guild taught me how to do it this way, and I just love it. And now I don't have any trouble at all after doing about 75 of them over the last 5 years I have belonged to the guild. You use 21/4" strips to the length you need, joining them together with a 45 seam, then pressing the whole thing in half, to 1 1/8 inch wide, leaving an 8" tail start sewing half way down the side, with the binding open side lining up with the raw edge of the quilt sewing a 1/4 inch seam allowance, when you come to the corner, you sew to within 1/4" of the corner, then bring your binding straight up from the corner, then fold it back dow the next side creating a nice neat 90 degree corner, and you repeat this on all corners, then stop within 12 inches of the starting point where you started sewing on your binding, then you open up your binding and cut the bottom or starting point binding into a 45degrees, then place it on top of the other binding and mark a dot on each side where the first bind ends, then come toward the first end of the binding 1/2 inch draw your 45 degree and cut it there and sew them together, works for me every time. Then you just roll it over to the other side and it falls perfectly onto the seam allowance line on the back of the quilt, then I hand stitch it down.

    What a lot of talent. Ckcowl's star is so cool. It makes you say, "Hey! How'd you do that?" Ckcowl, Did you design the pattern yourself? Prairiekat's Murphy's Star quilt is also great. That was the pattern I was originally going to do for the July swap. I collected fabrics for it, but then changed my mind. You did a great job on it.

    Thanks for the applause, my family liked it also, and I may make it for a benefit auction, if I don't spend too much time browsing. I only used one "block" of the quilt designed. but I thought it would work.
