I started this Lone Star top after Christmas and have had it sandwiched together for a couple weeks. I can’t decided how I want to quilt it. I thought about stitching a quarter inch away from diamond strips and maybe stippling in the background. This is 66 x 84 if I remember rightly.
I have another top started. It’s sewing my QOV scraps together in random order to get to 12 1/2 inch blocks. My sewing is therapy for me. My sister had a heart attack, then stoke days before Christmas. We recently laid her to rest. (A pic of my sister) I sew a while and then cry a while, but while I’m sewing these blocks, it helps me not think about anything else. I have to concentrate on making the most of each scrap piece. It is Jenny Doans latest Triple play with scraps.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you for the loss of your sister. I know your pain. I lost my only sister in 2014 from cancer. Memories still leak out of my eyes at times too.

Toogie: Words aren't enough to express my sympathy to you for your loss. What a lovely picture of this special lady to you.
Your lone star is beautiful and I think a 1/4" stitching line away from the seams would look perfect. I would do the background in anything you feel comfortable doing.
