The flower pops already. I don't think it needs anything. That being said, you must have reservations about it. Will this quilt be a gift or will it live with you? If it's a gift, how often will you see it once it's given? Will it bother you if and when you see it in the future?

Before I read the responses, I would like to say...."Please don't sew around the star". The feather stitching is beautiful. The star is enough for that size block. I really do not like quilts that can stand-up on their own. IMHO!

I think it looks good as is. The only thing different that I do is I SID around each block if I'm going to put a motif in the center.

I agree. There is no reason to overquilt this top. You have done a very lovely job with the feathers in the sashing. I have always preferred the look of hand quilting which has always been my guide. I think it is best to have the piecing of the quilt be the STAR and the quilting support and not detract from the beauty of the pieced top. Good Luck :thumbup:

I would stitch a small quarter inch frame around the star.

I like enough quilting to keep things together if washed a lot, but not so much as to be stiff. If the quilt was mine, I would stop with what you've done. I know it's just me but I don't particularly like the SITD method. I like my quilts to be used with either side up and I don't like to see each block outlined on the back, competing with my good quilting. I don't piece my backs unless I use it as a design element. I almost always use a quilting thread that will stand out, especially if the fabric is kind of plain. This really makes a double sided quilt. Ironically, some people I have gifted quilts to prefer the back, because it appeals to them more. Whatever works! Just please use my quilts.

I would leave it the way it is. It looks great!

I like it just the way it is, you should be proud of your quilting.

This is my thought also. Love it just the way it is and yes, you have done a great job on the quilting.
