Very very nice! I love your quilt! The red makes it pop and the points look great to me! :)

Now, I'm totally in love with it!!! No idea how to quilt it yet... Thinking some wreath-like stuff, and 1/4" echo of the smaller diamonds (can you still call it "echo" if it's inside the diamonds??). Don't know about the squares and diamonds on the outside edge... hmmm ... needs some more thought.
Kara - I've made one of these and I quilted wreaths in the big squares and echoed inside the outer points of the stars only. Just to let you know what I did - doeasn't mean you have to do the same! :D

Just beautiful and the middle of the star looks great. I have done 2 stars which I gave one as a wedding gift and sold the other one. My big worry was the middle that it would not turn into a bowl or a tent. Your work is just super!!
