So loving, the inner border that frames the center star,...that is just gorgeous...and all the other stars, etc. wow! If i knew I could create like this, I would be quilting in my sleep...well, sometimes I am, but not really getting anything done, but do enjoy the dreams. You make it so easy to be supportive. :D

Pam you have done a wonderful job so far... Waiting with anticipation to see the finished quilt. :)

I LOVE it when a plan comes together! YES!!! :thumbup:

If I wanted to be picky about it... I didn't quite nail the placement of the side star strips and the pattern of the border, the tips of the blue/white flower are cut off more on the right. But I am less than a 16th of an inch off on the 33" measurement from seam to seam and I gave a big sigh of relief after sewing on the second side and measuring it.

I need to stop obsessing about it!

Beautiful, just beautiful..

It's REALLY looking good - especially the gorgeous feathered star. I like your new simplified version. My new motto is to not make it so complicated that I get tired or discouraged before I finish! This looks like another of Pam's beauties.

I really love seeing your WIP. It's been fun to put our 2 cents in and watch your design mind at work. It's looking GREAT!. The way you're doing it now REALLY puts the emphasis on the FS where it should be. The blue in the other stars makes the tips of the FS POP.

Only 3!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

...only 3? that's what I'm screamin', lol!!!
I have 5 quilty projects, unless, you count all my stash bundles, then it's more like 50, for real...each one is for a certain person.
But haven't ever counted all my sewing wip's...almost typed ufo's...not, not using that term anymore :wink:

I have to laugh too. There is:

the SW medallion quilt top 1/3 done,
the wedding DIC is 70% done.
YBR is pinned and ready to quilt.
Homeward bound top is finished, needs to be layered and pinned.
the Amish Sunshine and Shadow is 50% done.
My daughter's 'Entwined' is 30% done.
a special quilt of special batiks about 25% done.
two other SW quilts just started.
that huge paper pieced quilt.. about 1% done.

nothing much on my plate.
