    This one I can't seem to stay focused on. I have been literally working on this one for years. I have the stars quilted in the ditch so I really don't know what my problem is other than I am thinking I need to do fancy stitching; have been thinking about giving machine quilting a try, but my machine, a Singer, is over 30 years in age and I haven't been able to find a walking foot for it.

    Please let me know your thoughts on the color combination. All input is truly appreciated.

    That's really pretty!
    I don't know about any other quilting on it. I like it the way it is.

    I love the colors and if it were me I would do stitch in the ditch the colors and stars are the focal point, the quilting is secondary in this quilt, your eyes are drawn to the quilt by the colors,it needs nothing else, beautiful.

    Very nice. I like how the little nine patches go out towards the border.
