This is truly a beautiful piece of work. The colors, the pattern and the work, yes, I see three years there. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I used the interfacing by 'QuiltSmart' called the 'Lone Star Diamond Grid' I then enlarged the whole thing to fit a queen size bed using the 'Star of Bethlehem' instructions. (I'm sorry, I don't know where those instructions came from).
My husband saw the center star displayed in a quilt store in Spokane and said..'can you do that?... Luckily a lady at the store came to my aid and recommended the interfacing method otherwise I would never have attempted it. I am pleased with the outcome.

Thank you, the colors were worked out for me on the display quilt at the store. I have a husband who likes to have things exactly the same as the example in the store!!
