squeee! work in progress :)
 

after about 10 practice rails i just got to the point where i decided to do it on the quilt itself.

it's far from perfect and i can guarantee it will get better (maybe even better enough to come back and tear most of this) but i am SO pleased with the pattern and thread choices!

i think - the more i look it - that echo quilting the star shape will be the block quilting choice too.

taking all critique and advice, but merrily forging ahead :)

thanks!

WOW.. thats beautiful..

Love the block, nice version of the swoon.

Very nice quilting:)

wow its beautiful

very nicely done!!!

Beautiful. The sashing is going very well and I like the idea of echoing the stars. I would also stitch in the ditch around each star block which will look great on the back to outline the sashing. Keep posting your progress.
