Each individual section that makes up the big block has a star quilted in it and the sashing strips has a row of small stars. What do you think? I hope it was worth the time. Thanks for looking.
Did you use templates to mark those stars??? My very first (very small!) quilt was an Ohio Star. Your points are great!!
Yes, I drew out a star and made a template for it. Actually two templates, one large and a small one for the sashing. You can't really tell from the picture of the back but there is a LOT of quilting on this. I used a gold colored thread to compliment the focus fabric.

I like it a lot. You did a great job. My favorite colors, because Airedales are black and tan. Thanks for sharing.
