Deb, the colors are wonderful in your quilt. What a lucky recipient.
SewNso, the black stars are great on a scrappy. Looks good. I like the loops in your quilting. The instructor at my LQS told me to never cross a line and make a loop. I know now she was wrong, so I'm looking forward to making loops on this one. I lost 34 2 1/2" squares last night so I had to quit. I finally found them. My big dog pushed them down in the cushions when she visited me while I was drawing my diagonal lines.
