    Dotty, that's fabulous! I love the black background-makes your stars just pop. Your color choices are so pretty and the quilting complements it. Great job--so nice to see some of these finished projects-nice walk down memory lane with you. Congrats on a great finish.

    Dotty---Great job!! I can see why you are thrilled with it.

    This quilt (well quilts for me since I am making 2) is first on my list of "to finish" this year. I have all the blocks I am making done (24 stars). I had to pick up a little more background fabric for one of them, so now need to cut out my alternating blocks and assemble rows.

    Love it DottyD! You did a good job on it. I love the darker background.

    Default One of two quilts finally finished!!

    Hi! I've had 24 blocks done for a while now and finally got one quilt finished using 12 this afternoon. It is not what I originally had in mind, but *is* done. The butterfly fabric is used in every block.

    Gorgeous carriem! Well worth the wait. I love the diagonal background stripe. Great planning.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! The quilting swirls coupled with the stars was a good choice, too. Thank you for posting (#1200) this pic.

    This is an amazing quilt (thread #1204). So many patterns within patterns! Lovely!
