Welcome to the board, Tea! I would get more quilting done if I didn't spend so much time here!

Outstanding! Quite a project for a beginner. I've been quilting for years, and I doubt that I'd take it on ~ ~ ~

we all start as beginners but you did an outstanding job anyway you look at it. I love the little blocks, I just don't have that much patients to do them.

As for how to finish it off, I would add 1 or 2 more rounds of blocks around the out side just to give room so as not to cover the outer stars, then pick a backing that blends well with the front. Sandwich it up and roll the backing over the front edges as a binding.

When I use this method, I cut the backing 1 1/2 inches larger then the top. Then fold that in half, then roll it over the front edges. It should end up about a 3/4 inch binding and you can sew it down on your machine with little effort.

Wow!! Beginner or not, that is one incredible quilt. Did you purchase the pattern commercially?
