Thanks again for the compliments.
NikkiLu - I will be doing more of the same, but in different color combos. I have quite a few batik scraps in my stash from past projects, and should have enough for at least a lap quilt.
suebee - I'm in the Valley. I took the avatar pic in 2005 before I relocated here, and I just thought it was pretty. :) I'd love to live up there though.
I'm still playing with EQ, but I'm thinking something similar to the attached star as a center medallion. On point. Spiky, pointy center border. Random stars of different design floating outside it. Regular border....with spiky things in each corner and along the center of each side.
EDIT: The colors will obviously be different. :D I was playing with the pattern and grabbed the wrong color combo as a jpg.
