UPDATE BELOW-2-6-19

Hello Cuties, this is what I started this week. I am not thrilled with the fabrics, although I love the block pattern. The fabrics were purchased on my quilt trip to Missouri Star Quilt Company as charm packs called Roses on the Vine, by Marti Mitchell. A very easy pattern to piece called Double Square Star. Have any of you made this quilt?
I still have to sew my blocks together and decide exact placement. I just have them laid out on a bed, as I have no design wall. The only roses are the one large print and very few of those. There are some 'tiny' rose buds in the light pink and light green. I think the fabric 'read' as solid colors but they are mostly tone on tone or gingham. I will border and back it with the blue on bottom left in 2nd pic. I wish I have bought the floral in yardage for a border. Oh well. I hope the quilting will bring it to life! I will TRY to quilt it on my machine but it is a queen size and don't know if I can make the turns like I want to.
I went to a lady's house, with my niece, to see her mid arm Sweet Sixteen machine. The lady is married to Eraine's cousin. Anyway, I shouldn't have gone as I came home longing for anything with a larger throat space. Claudia was her name and she was very encouraging to me. Claudia had recently bought it and she said I made better free hand feathers than she did and that was my first try!-lol I did tell her I meandered or free motion stipple stitched on my home machine, so I had a 'feel' for it.
I saw the quilting of this quilt done with just straight line stitching and it really looked good. It was heavily stitched though. I can only hope to do this one as well.
So, I don't play the lottery, but if any of you do, remember I want a long arm quilting machine!-lol
Have a great day or night my friends-Toogie

UPDATE-I have pieced and sewn all the blocks together (see photo below). It is growing on me, because I've repeatedly sewn so many and now, am beginning to like it more. I still want to add a wide blue border all around, but I wanted to show you since I think with more blocks, it does look better. Thanks again for looking, encouragement, and just bearing with me!!!
