    I have posted some as you go shots here, but I also have them and instructions on how to do this on my blog. The current post (July 16, 2010) has before and after pictures. You can also click on the pictures for a closer look.

    The stars are pieced with a white background. The quilt was quilted, then colored using pencils and then sealed.

    I also thought I'd let you know that I finally updated the blog. I had one daughter graduate from high school, and another get married, six days apart. I have survived and am quilting like CRAZY. There is a link to the blog under my signature!
    What do you mean when you say COLORING ON THE QUILT?o you mean with crayons or fabric pieces? :?:
    Same here. Never heard of it ! The quilt is STUNNING!!!!!!! :D

    Well, I think it was well worth the 6 months you spent. It looks amazing.

    I've never heard about the "sealing". Did you iron it to make it colorfast?
