It is very beautiful. I am finding that every quilt I see I want to sew! I have several going now and am eyeing some more fabric to make this one perhaps!

Oh I want to See!!!!! I want to do another one in a different color palette.

Should have said "going to make". I'll probably start it in a month after I've done my previous commitments.

Ok, the first thing my son says is... when are you going to make one for me? LOL I think that is just so good! He has had a real hard time picking a pattern for his room. I do have a question... I am debating on just buying the pattern online or just going for it and getting the kit. My question is can you tell me what the total yardage is for a twin size bed? I think its the single on the size options. I know you can't tell me how much of each color, but just the total could give me an idea of how much per yard I would be paying if I bought the kit. Thanks if you can help.

Thank you for all your great feedback - I did end up quilting in circles - each block got a circle around it so the circles overlapped each other which turned out really well. The border I was of two minds - not to quilt at all becasue I did not want to detract from the design, BUT I know that the judges like quilted borders. The pictures are not the greatest (took them on the floor of my office!) but they definitely show it off.

Hey if anyone knows how to contact Chloe at toadusew - could you ask her to send me a PM? I would like to get an acknowledgement statement from her so I can sign the back and make sure they get credit.

That is a great quilt!!

I have a question, is this the pattern by Brenda Henning? If it is I'm going to kick myself as I just cancelled a class to do with her by this title at the Valdez Quilt Festival. I am going down in Sept. and I had signed up for 4 classes plus a mystery and I was just to overwhelmed by that many workshops plus what I already have going on so I looked them all over and decided to cancel that and the mystery and leave myself some free time to work on the others. But if this is it I'm going to wish I had cancelled the Feather Star instead I think. Oh well.
