Hello from Healesville in Victoria, Australia. I've been reading the board for a while but only just worked out how to comment. You are all so encouraging to each other it is great to see. I belong to a few quilting groups, but at the moment are a bit stale. Fairly new to quilting i spend a lot of time looking at magazines and my fabric not knowing where to start. My avatar has a scrappy quilt my first one all done by hand except the small border which i put in by machine as worried about stretching fabric as lot on bias. I knew nothing about color value or rules of quilting, apparently put stars in wrong position. But i think it turned out ok! Have a few smaller ones that are not bound yet. like the other Aussie will show you when I work out how. Good to be on board finally!

Your avatar is not very big, but what I can see of it, it looks great. I see nothing wrong with your placement of the stars. Are they string pieced or crazy quilt pieced? They look like the stars might be crazy quilt pieced.
