That is a fabulous quilt...I would love it for the entry at my house, it is soooooo beautiful!
Tell your DD to keep a careful eye on it at college so it doesn't get legs and walk off onto campus and on a long trip somewhere else.

I have ordered several patterns from them over the last couple years.
They are written very well, most of them are for a twin to queen size quilts.

I was asked what size the finished block is. It is an 18" finished block. I made her 6 pillows to go with the quilt. 2 of them were King Size pillows, 2 18" pillows and 2 24" pillows.
This close up of the pillows will give you a better idea of the pattern in it.
When I made the quilt I had planned for extra blocks for pillows. It called for 20 different prints and 2 backgrounds. I believe I used either 22 or 24 different of the darks so I would have enough for the pillows. The blocks are set 5 x 4 for the queen size, 20 blocks.
The background fabric for the stars is sparkly!! Not the easiest to press as the iron does not "slide" on the sparkly stuff!!!
