Wnen i did the quilting for the QAYG style of my project I didnt like the initial stitch in the ditch - because i missed the ditch several times. So, I added a decorative feather stitch to the rays. Now, I rather like it. I enjoy the less perfect blocks I so often wind up with. It will be enjoyed for years to come.
Thanks for the inspiration!

What a pretty combination of color's & fabric's you have chosen to put together for you August 2012 Calendar BOM!!
I love your feather stitching around the yellow rays. It really sets them off. I also love polka dot fabric of all kinds. What a clever block you have made to fit in with your project. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today!!
