Cut it out and use it as a template so that you get all the pedals consistant. SID around the stars then cross hatch the arrows around the stars. You could do any kind of fill in the area around the stars but crosshatching straight lines would be easy if you are new to FMQ.
Be sure to post a pic when finished.
I love the pattern, what is the name of it and where can I find it.
I agree.....love the quilt, very pretty.....I would stipple in the light areas with light thread and the flower design in the star with a green......I try to follow this advice...KISS it (keep it simple stupid) and be done with it.....simple quilting will make it much easier and won't take away from the quilt itself.
