Honchey - you and I are at the same place. I have cut out my sashing - it's going to be scrappy though. Maybe I can at least finish the top within the next two weeks
BettyB - love your top! Nice colors!!
Caroline - that's a winner, too!
Redtop - like the way the green sets everything in a calm state
I've been watching all the action on Train Ride #9. I think I can find more scrapes for that one; just need to find the time . . . we all know how that goes!

Thanks girls my quilt has more color than the pictures. The stars are yellow and the green is more vivid. It is thimbleberries fabrics. I would love to make a brighter colored quilt using this pattern. Judy outdid herself this time. Love her mysteries!!

It depends on your batting. Kinda like pinning for basting. If I can fit my hand between then it needs more ties. I have tied all the points, center of the large triangle, center of the stars and a couple times in the borders. I haven't done a lot and not for a long time so I hope I'm doing it right.lol

I'm tying quilts for a local woman too. She said when she entered it in the fair last year they put a note on the back of her tag. They said knots should be no more than 4" apart. I told her that was pretty much the rule. I just go by my hand. It's easier than getting out a ruler. The knots are sewed on my quilt I just need to cut the strings between and actually tie the knots. Lion's barter night is 11th so it will be done by then.
