I local client gave me this quilt to quilt. I got permission to post pictures. This was a class she took to make the paper peiced stars..it is beautiful quilt. I was told exactly how to quilt it. which is nice in many ways....and it is a beautiful quilt.
HOwever , If it were MY quilt....I would have added some metallic thread in some of those starz..I would have used a poofy batting...and all of the stars that I put in the background ( the big ones that mimic her paper peiced ones..not the little ones) I would have used a varigated thread and made them stand out more....
Of course this is all free hand..no pantos..or computer....ALl my own hand!
