Dotty, that's fabulous! I love the black background-makes your stars just pop. Your color choices are so pretty and the quilting complements it. Great job--so nice to see some of these finished projects-nice walk down memory lane with you. Congrats on a great finish.

Dotty---Great job!! I can see why you are thrilled with it.

This quilt (well quilts for me since I am making 2) is first on my list of "to finish" this year. I have all the blocks I am making done (24 stars). I had to pick up a little more background fabric for one of them, so now need to cut out my alternating blocks and assemble rows.

Default One of two quilts finally finished!!

Hi! I've had 24 blocks done for a while now and finally got one quilt finished using 12 this afternoon. It is not what I originally had in mind, but *is* done. The butterfly fabric is used in every block.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! The quilting swirls coupled with the stars was a good choice, too. Thank you for posting (#1200) this pic.

This is an amazing quilt (thread #1204). So many patterns within patterns! Lovely!
