    Here are pictures of the quilt I just finished for my youngest son. It's a queen-sized quilt and by the time I got it finished, my eyes were crossed!

    Loretta,

    Thanks for the compliment :oops: In all reality, it was one of the easiest quilts that I've worked on.

    Loretta,

    This pattern took rectangles and squares to make the stars. It was really a snap. I've done the Ohio Star and it's pretty easy also.

    Oh, gee, you make me (my free motion quiliting) look like a slob because I just throw some kind of design on there - not dense like yours - so I can get it done and on to the next quilt. Yours is gorgeous - such detail!

    What a gorgeous quilt! I can see why you were cross-eyed, but the end result is just beautiful!!

    Thank you, Roben. It took me about 2 weeks to just quilt the thing. But it's going to its new home in Montana.
