I showed this top a little while ago and now it's quilted and finished! I'm going to hang it on the wall above the door to my sewing room upstairs. I called it Rhonda's Star because I used her star point technique to make it! Hope you don't mind Rhonda!

Very nice! :-)

Thanks you! I only echo quilted the star points to emphasise them and I think the dark blue sections are a bit 'floppy' with no quilting on them but DH said not. What do you think?

That's cute!

Thanks Terri - and it's really small too so will fit in your case no problem!

very pretty

Oo that's pretty. The center pops nicely.
To answer your question yeh the dark blue is a bit "floppy", but not enough to make a diff, still looks grand :)
Yet more inspiration ;)

Very pretty, and I love it jlust the way it is!

I'm sorry I can't see it very well - will you SEND IT TO ME!! JK but it sure is pretty!

It really turned out great! ....and who wouldn't love having a star named after them?!
It is a testiment to you as a student and Rhonda as an instructor.

Thanks everyone! yes, I think I'll leave it floppy. i just washed it to get the pencil marks out and it's tightened up a bit anyway!

Naw....I don't think its too floppy...hmmm...maybe I need a closer look..my addy is......

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I really think you did a great job! I'm going to have to check out Rhonda's star point thing now..Don't know how I missed it!

Didn't see this the first time around. It came out great!! I love stars!!

ooooooooooo very pretty :D

You can never go wrong with blues as far as I'm concerned. It totaly awesome.

Beautiful! I may have to make some smaller stuff, you have really inspired me.

Very pretty!

Wow thanks everyone for the comments! It was really fun to do and I'm definitely going to make more - you can arrange these star points in all kinds of patterns! I used 3" finished blocks for this - I might go down to 2" next time and get a really intricate pattern!

Well it is time I chimed in huh? I love how it came out!! I favor blues a lot so it is fantastic!! I think the color choice is what makes it work!!

If you use the colors that don't play off each other the design won't stand out so well! I love your color and pattern choices!!

I am honored to have a block named after me!!! :mrgreen:

I have a hard time coming up with names for these blocks!

It is funny you said these blocks can be turned lots of ways. I am working on an ebook with the Star Point Blocks. It will be like the Boston Blocks but I will add more patterns to this one.

I am so glad you get the point that these "Blocks" can be used to turn differant ways to get more designs. A lot of people have a hard time with this concept with regards to my methods.

Congratulations on a job well done!!! I think leaving areas unquilted is a personal choice and it looks just fine the way you did it!!!

Way to go! and I look forward to more Star Point projects from you!!

Thank you Rhonda! Thank, thank you Rhonda!
Thank you Rhonda! Thank, thank you Rhonda!
Thank you Rhonda! Thank, thank you Rhonda!
Thank you Rhonda yeah! (get her out of my head!)

Sorry been wanting to do that for ages - it was number one (the day I was born apparently! I'm sure it's not the first time you heard it!

What a beautiful block K - I have to say that you absolutely crack me up K with your antics LOL.

Looking forward to tomorrows K. :wink:

Every time I hear that song I think that's my song! But if you listen to the lyrics it isn't very flattreing to Rhonda! He is turning to her to forget his lost love! She is second best.

But it has my name!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I still love the song. :D

Very nice star.

Love the star!! And Rhonda has done a great job showing how. You ladies are amazing.

Just gorgeous, K. Ahem....my sewing room door needs a block, too. I like blue a lot....(nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

K, that is so beautiful!! Great job. I should do smaller projects as I like to see finished product.

That's a Beauty in Blues :D :D :D

VERY pretty!!

Beautiful quilt. Love your color choices.

Rhonda--do you suppose that was Cathy's Clown that came running to you? LOL (no offense to other Cathy/Kathys)

You mean in the song? I never thought of it that way! Could be!! :D

Very pretty!

Yes, I mean in the song!

You think Cathy (in the song) is crying the "Blues" now that Rhonda(not me!!) took her man away? :mrgreen:

:D So pretty! Love the color!

judee

Beautiful----I just love blues~!

Very nice!

Kyia

Very pretty. I love blues. Yours is great.

:lol: No, she wouldn't sing the"blues" I don't think she really cared about him.

LOL - is my DH Kathy's Clown??? :D

Thanks for all the kind comments BTW!
