What a gorgeous quilt! I love paper piecing. It can be tedious, but the results are worth it.

Yours is the most stunning ~ breathtaking ~ paperpieced version of Karen Stone's curved designs I've EVER seen. I think such perfect points scream for curvey feather quilting. This quilt will win prizes when it is finished! Thank you for showing it to us!

Love it, love it, love it. Get it in the show! It is absolutely stunning, you should do very well at the show.

Good luck, if this were a public voting system at the show you would get my vote for sure!

Great job, hugs Gail

Beautiful - It would take a more experienced quilter than I to advise, but I know you will find a way

great ideas

I agree with the previous posting that you should outline stitch in the ditch to emphasize the main points pattern, In the big pieces maybe you could just stitch 1/4 inch apart in an echo all the way to the center. The geometry might be nice.

Wow, It is so beautiful now I can't wait to see it when you add the quilting. AMAZING!

Sorry no ideas but WOW on both this and your avatar! Amazing work! Show us when you do figure out how to finish this quilt. I'm sure it will be a show stopper!

The quilt is beautiful, it needs to be in the show. I liked the idea of SID around the points to bring them out. Good Luck and let us know how you did.It really is stunning.
