I have some stars just like yours, that I have made using diamonds cut out by my Great-Grandmother in the 40's. I don't have them made into a top yet but I am working on it. I love the way you handled your first border, it is very clever.

- yes I took an old quilt and copied it. I saw a quilt hanging in a quilt store in PA - this is its picture:

Those diamonds are much smaller than what I had to use. Here's the quilt I made for my mom several years ago. The diamonds were cut by my g'ma (mom's mom who died in 1945). That's my Mom looking at the quilt w/ my brother holding it.
