Default Smoky Mountain Stars recycled shirts quilt-- main part done.

This is Bonnie Hunter's SMS pattern. It's my first quilt with recycled men's shirts and I have to say I love it! So 'homey'.... Can you see the stars? I used lighter shirts for the backgrounds, instead of white, so the stars are a bit less obvious. I plan to quilt them so that they stand out more (hopefully). The quilt so far is only 54" x 60" so it will definitely be getting a narrow dark border followed by a wider border of plaid rectangles out of the same shirt fabrics. (Why not?) I want it big enough for a full sized bed, if possible.
