LOL Tim!
Pam - you keep on obsessing girl, whatever you're doing, don't change a thing because your work is FANTASTIC! But if you've got a little precision to spare, I could do with some of it! I WANT to be precise but then I think 'what the hey' and just slap something together, but then I regret it and wish I'd taken more time. You have to do whatever you need to do to be happy with your work.

Pam~Where have I been? I saw your feathered star when you posted it~but this thread has totally escaped me until now!!!
I LOVE your quilt!!!! You do such beautiful work!! The layout is just gorgeous! Thanks for posting progress pics as you work. It is fun to see it all come together.
I know you must have said before (like when you posted your FS) but I have forgotten~what line of fabric is this? The colors are beautiful for your design.

Tim, if I had that many to work on I'm afraid that I would just curl into a ball and whimper.... or start another one to take my mind off it.
It's not totally precise, some of the star points aren't as pointy as they should be. I also said "what the hey" after trying to shrink 2 of them in only one direction! My daughter certainly won't care, or probably even notice.
It doesn't FEEL like it's been a short time. I think I've been working on this for a month and still don't have the first row completely sewn on!
I like the design part as much as, sometimes more than, putting it together. It does change as I work on it, a lot different than my first drawings of it. The fabric is the Twiggy collection by Moda. I told my daughter to go to Fat Quarter Shop and look at the fabrics and pick some out she liked and this was one of them.
Do I sleep? Yeah, but I dream of quilting. :lol: I was almost asleep last night and thought... why did I do the log cabins around the edge? It would achieve the same effect if I did HSTs. There's a thought but, I would need more fabric. It's getting pretty tight and I am not absolutely sure there is enough to finish the LCs. I am not liking them a little bit either. The dark side is the brown and mulberry, the light is the blue and green. The green isn't really "light" though and it might not look right.
