    Some of you may remember the post I did a while back about my extreme frustration getting the points to match on my lone star. Well, I quilted it before I left for my brother's wedding, bound it this morning and wallah...frustration seems like a distant memory now...all I feel is a sense of satisfaction and some pride for sticking to the project and finishing it...and it is all in orange...my happy color! It is in the wash now...can't wait to dry it and hang it! Yippee!!

    Thanks all for looking!

    Stunning! How many different shades of orange did you use? I think I would like to make one of those in green (my favorite color!!)
