Hi - I am going to try to FMQ for the first time. I have been practicing on quilt sandwiches, and would like to try to quilt my Carpenter's Wheel quilt. It has a very large star in the middle of it. Can anyone suggest a really "beginner's" FMQ design for the star?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

Stars are quite easy to do. Just draw one for yourself and get the size you want. Then trace it a few times to get the flow of it and it will help you flow with it on the fabric. I just use the star pattern that is a continuous line.

Thanks for the suggestions. I decided not to push the envelope, and go for the meandering for this quilt. I just finished quilting the top, and I must say, it isn't TOO bac, although definitely not perfect. I will some day make another one for our home, but for now, this one is much better than I thought it would turn out. Thanks again for the help!
