Betty, what a beautiful wall hanging! I really like the plaids and the colors are me :wink:
I am still fairly new at all this so no advice on the quilting part, just had to tell you I love it :thumbup:

Want to bet it ends up on a bed??? It would be beautiful on a large wall for sure, but I bet someone ends up with the beauty on their bed. I would have to lie under it for a bit anyway!
speaking of stripes and plaids..........I'm sitting here typing and looking at some plaids and strips I'm going to use as QAYG Christmas stocking for the Troops and the Seniors. You thought Christmas was over? It's never over here, and I love to use the plaids with solid to make the stockings. Something festive and encouraging about them.
Don't forget to post that picture of the result of your wonderful work.
Hugs,
Sharon

I think stitching in the ditch is harder than stitching 1/4" from the seams. How about stitching on the diagonal like others have suggested and use clear thread. If it is going to be a wall hanging you don't have to worry about the scratchy ends left from the clear thread.
BTW, I love your use of plaid! You did a great job!

I totally agree with PatriceJ. I make "Bottoms Up" Christmas stockings with similar stars on the seat flap. I find that adding the diagonal lines through the stars really does add just the right amount of pizzazz to the overall design. So, if you're up to it...
