    WOW, that is one gorgeous quilt. When I first started quilting, I took on some intermediate plus patterns when I was a real beginner, but there was no one to tell me I couldn't do it, so I just did it. You go girl,you're off to a fantastic start as a quilter.

    Everything well said. After all my years of quilting, I can't make myself start a star quilt but is on my bucket list. Kudos to you for the challenge and it will be well received. Thanks for sharing.

    Erin, you are doing a FABULOUS job!!! You are so darned talented in every thing you do. Can't wait to see this work in progress. Glad you like the Altos, I never got adventurous enough to use it much. "J" will love it. Keep up the gorgeous work! Just showed your Mom your post.
