    My sister and her family are coming back to Ohio in June (they're in South Carolina) I figure that i have just about 2 more weeks of work on a full size Grandma's Flower Garden(started quilting it the middle of August), that i should be able to get that twin-size quilt done by the middle of June.

    All i know is that i'm going to shadow quilt the stars w/ 2 or 3 rows of stitching and i have a simple flower pattern for the white blocks....The rest is a work in progress.....

    Updates will be coming, that's for sure!

    You're right, the stars really showcase the fabric; perfect pattern choice.
