Looking good! I love Bonnie's scrappy quilts but I am a bit OCD myself. She is able to put everything in her quilts and they look great. I think it comes from the huge number of different fabrics she has.

LOL. There is one pinwheel that has the same batik in two of the yellow points... I don't think it is in this picture though. There are a couple of the yellows that read very similarly when cut this small. When I caught it, I made the executive decision to leave it as is. In all the pinwheel stitching, I only had to restitch parts of 3 of them - mostly because I sewed the wrong side of the fabric.

On the star points, I did cut one of the batiks upside down - and decided to leave those, even though the colors are less vibrant on the wrong side.

That's going to be beautiful! I'm glad someone else has MIB in the background for quilting: my adult son was surprised (but sat down to watch after clearing a fabric pile temporarily to another spot).
