My oldest friend (in terms of how long I have known her) is having her first grandson next month. Here is the finished quilt top. I was going to add another border (red) but after I put the blue one on, the quilt said it was finished :lol:

Any suggestions on how to quilt it? I'm thinking of hand quilting as I can do a better job at that as opposed to machine quilting.....

How big are the red stars approx? I think I'd start with quilting a ¼" echo around them and then see what else it needs. I really like the way the blue star forms in the background. I agree the blue border is nice & maybe bind it with the red?

The star blocks are each 12" with the border at 3" (finished). I have enough of the blue fabric for the backing. And the red would be cute for the binding and echo quilting is maybe all it needs....Thanks! :D

Sometimes I tend to "over think" things.... :roll:

Pretty!

Oh I love that quilt!!!
It is so eye-catching as soon as you see it!!
Great work!

Oh my that is just so pretty

Maybe some baby foot prints in the large squares.

I love it!

Oh, it's so cute! Your hand quilting will be such a special touch. Don't forget to show us. You know how hand quilting makes me drool!

I love it!!
Great for a baby boy!

Sewjoyce...what a pretty little quilt for a new GB. Love the star around the star. I also think echo is the way to go.

That would be cute, a little 'FOOT' in the 4" middle square maybe????

Cute quilt

Now I just need to find a "foot" that will fit in a 4" square :lol: :lol: I just love the foot idea :D

Very nice. I like it.

That is beautiful. I agree it says done. I have not suggestions on how to quilt it. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Perfect for the little guy!!!! Love it :D :D :D

Awesome quilt!!! The footprint idea is really kinda cool. Maybe one of these will help huh?

Maybe just good old tying off in the corners of the blocks. I just love how a quilt talks to you and it all comes together.

What a darling little baby quilt!! :D
It looks just perfect to me. I don't
know how to quilt it, but I am sure
whatever you do, it will be very nice!!
:D :D :D :D :D

I really like the double star, I don't think I've seen that before. Sorry can't help with the quilting part.

Very nice.

I love it. You did a fantastic job! :D

Thanks for the sites -- they are all just adorable!!!

I think your plan is right on, and it's sure to be a 'hit'! :lol:

very good i also would stitch a 1/4 in a way enjoy hand quilting this like to see the result after done

I love the footprint quilting idea, and I think a red binding would finish this off perfectly! Well done!

Good thinking to leave it at the one border. I did one similar to that and put a small first border in red, a second in blue, and should have stopped there because I put a third in the lighter color I used and hated it. I ended up putting a small blue binding after that and said "good enough".

Yours is very cute.

Great quilt! It looks great with just the one border. You do nice work, he's going to love it.

The blue making a big friendship star is a great design feature. Cleverly done!

Thank you -- But I can't take the credit. I had a small picture of one that was done like that from Quilters Cache (http://www.quilterscache.com/F/Frien...ock_Page2.html) and I just thought it was neat. I had to do one block at a time, sew them together and compare them to the picture. Had to do a little unsewing to get them correct. My granddaughter thought it was great fun to line up the blocks for me and she was really a big help :D
