Thank you for the compliments. I found the prints to be delightful as well, not something I would normally pick out but I like them. I asked my aunt, she said it is the MSQC - Double Square Star quilt. I believe her blocks came out to 11", or at least what I was calling a block.

Here's a link to the pattern. https://blog.missouriquiltco.com/dou...re-star-quilt/

I have a Juki - it is marketed as a long arm but I don't call it that since the throat is only about 11" - on the short side of a mind arm if you ask me but none the less it does a great job. Depending on the quilt and the pattern I chose to quilt into it, I will either use a water soluble pen, a paper/tracing paper template that I quilt directly through then tear away, or like in this case, a rule. I stipple a lot of quilts when want to get one done quicker, don't want to take away from the block design or don't know else to do. I try not to do fancy quilting on quilts meant for everyday use because I have found the more work you put into them, the less like the recipient is to use them. I usually make my quilts to be used, too many that I have made are 'put away out of fear of ruining them' so I try to go easy on my quilting. This quilt measured about 74" x 85". I managed to get it completed in about 6 to 7 hours. I have to work on them in the evenings after my normal job or on weekends. I have found my machine likes embroidery type thread vs cotton. I have more trouble with cotton threads than it is worth fighting for so I have been sticking to the embroidery thread. Limits my color choices sometimes and they have a shine to them but I don't have to fight the tension when I use it so I stick with what works. My aunt binds her own quilts...I have just become her quilter. I would bind it for her if she asked.

Thank you for your kind compliments. I (we) appreciate it.
