I always wanted to make the Hunter's Star and when I saw a strip piecing method on this board finally made one. It got 2nd place in the fair this summer. I just did stitch in the ditch up/down, back & forth, and on the diagonal on my domestic machine. Personally I don't like heavy quilting and didn't want to distract from the quilt with an over-all quilting technique. Good luck with whatever you decide. Your quilt is beautiful (and your dog is priceless!).

I sure do love the Hunter's Star. Can't help you with the LAQ question, but take it along to your class for those who have the experience to express their opinions. Doesn't mean you have to abide by their suggestions.

Now I can see taking your work to shops to Show & Tell :D , but if you are taking a FM class on reg machine, I would not want to 'learn' on a prized piece.
Not much help on the quilting. Maybe some 'curvey' (is that a word?) soft/open design.
Good luck on your class

I love it too! It makes me think about a picture of a quilt I have been looking at in a magazine with swirly feathers quilted on it. I'll get the magazine and tell you which one I am looking at. It's BHG American Patchwork & Quilting, June 2010, page 118.
