Star Quilt that I just had to share. I worked on this on and off last year. Just finished doing the quilting of it. I was done using the embroidery machine, stitch in the ditch, and decorative stitching. It was a lot of piecing and challenging. I thought I was cutting acurately but when I started putting it together it didn't seem so. I believe this has been the hardest one so far. I have only been doing serious pieceing for a couple of years. Lots of simple Project Linus quilts previously. Thanks for letting me share.

Thank you. I have two other quilts that need to be completed. They are much larger so it won't be anytime soon.

This is beautiful. I appreciate people who can stick with a project to the end. I get bored and move on to something else, hence many half finished projects that I may never get finished.

Thank you. After getting it pieced I did have to take a break before quilting it.

I think your points look great. I especially love the colors you chose. I have never tried quilting on the embroidery machine. I have a friend who does it all the time. It takes a very long time but it always looks perfect. You have a beautiful quilt. I hope you are in a quilt guild and plan on putting it in their show. If not you should think about it because, you have done a beautiful job.

Thank for you kind words. Yes, I do belong to a quilt. Just recently joined. This doesn't compare to those they have done. Some of them have been quilting for many years and I've only just begun!
by cj2sew 22 Jan 2013
I know how you feel. I have only been quilting since 2005 but, the more I do the better I get. We have a quilt show in May this year and I have 3 quilts to enter. Not perfect but, they sure are pretty to me.

The colors,design,piecing and quilting are all superb. This is a beautiful quilt. Don't tell anyone you made a mistake while cutting, they would never guess it. Get ready to sit back and enjoy the compliments.

Great job. Beautiful quilt. I love the fabrics you have used. I have just started quilting my own. Only on small things. Want to try a large quilt next. Hope I can do half as good as you did.

Thank you! Have fun. I would still like to do a small one and hand quilt it. But not up to that challenge yet!

Thanks so much. The embroidery machine made the job much easier. However, it was 112 hoopings.
