This is one stunning quilt. You mastered your whole circles beautifully. I have made 6 DWR quilts and I so understand the frustration with the arches. The can still get to me when I start a new quilt. I love the applique to me you are a master. This is going to be the gift that will always be treasured.

You did a fantastic job!! Thank you for sharing your creative process in making this terrific quilt! Great design! Love how you combined the different patterns and the applique.
Did you use paper piecing or templates to make your stars? What size are your blocks?
