This is really funny but I just finished this quilt design from a LQS at a retreat in the North Georgia mountains. After looking at this quilt for a long time, I decided to do a three leaf pattern in the lighter areas around the stars. I didn't want to make it too busy but wanted the stars to pop out so I highlighted them with outline stitching. For the small beading, I used a wavy line from corner to corner, following the pattern across the quilt. This brought out the beading. For the larger beading I used smaller leaf pattern following the beading across the quilt. When I get it back from a friend, I will post it. Hopefully, you were also at the same retreat! JC

I am a top maker and hate the quilting part of the whole process, but I wanted to chime in with how BEAUTIFUL this is, especially when you picked fabrics not knowing what they would turn out to be!!!!!!!

(Joanne's sells it off a roll where the drapery and upholstery fabric is). Lay it over the quilt top and draw quilting designs on it with a dry erase marker. You can erase the marker with a piece of batting. This allows you to audition quilting designs without harm to the quilt.
