    Why that almost looks like FMQ.

    Very nice interpretation of my Compass Star. Better'n than I have done.

    I am sure Ruthy will apperciate the efforts you have done,

    Thanks all. :P

    I did fuse the lame to a lightweight innerfacing. after that it was just like working with any other fabric that doesn't stretch. (at all, so you had better cut it right the first time. :lol: )

    The light gray squares aren't lame. They're Platinum Fairy Frost from Michael Miller's line.

    I didn't quilt through either one. the back is quilted in the ditch. I attached the top using tiny back stitches, through just the batting, about every half inch in those ditches. for some reason, i just couldn't bring myself to "disturb" the main gray areas with quilting that showed.

    the whole thing went through a machine wash and dry like a champ. (what a relief!!! it's tough to hold your breath that long! :lol: )

    What a beautiful piece of work Patrice! You did Tim's star proud. :) I love the pinks and grays and the stitching is lovely. I like what you did around the star. I'd never get tired of staring at that quilt!! :)
