Lone Star
I started this Lone Star top after Christmas and have had it sandwiched together for a couple weeks. I can’t decided how I want to quilt it. I thought about stitching a quarter inch away from diamond strips and maybe stippling in the background. This is 66 x 84 if I remember rightly.
I have another top started. It’s sewing my QOV scraps together in random order to get to 12 1/2 inch blocks. My sewing is therapy for me. My sister had a heart attack, then stoke days before Christmas. We recently laid her to rest. (A pic of my sister) I sew a while and then cry a while, but while I’m sewing these blocks, it helps me not think about anything else. I have to concentrate on making the most of each scrap piece. It is Jenny Doans latest Triple play with scraps.

Toogie: Words aren't enough to express my sympathy to you for your loss. What a lovely picture of this special lady to you.
Your lone star is beautiful and I think a 1/4" stitching line away from the seams would look perfect. I would do the background in anything you feel comfortable doing.
