Inquiring minds want to know: did you paper piece the mariners star; did you use a dsm or a longarm to do the quilting; and, how long did it take you to hand piece them? Sometimes I think I could get more done if I hand pieced. I seem to spend a lot of time watching T.V., waiting on Drs., and visiting my 90 yr. old mother. Thanks for sharing your art and your achievement with us.
