I'd LOVE to try one but do handquilting, but I'm a bit intimidated. *still sitting here drooling on my keyboard*

Well, the pattern is something of a hybrid of different patterns. I used an Ohio star and a Christmas star pattern, I saw the sashing effect from another quilt pattern and modified it for this one, used a Marti Mitchell template for the border, and added the plain fabric. When I put it together I wasn't sure what kind of trapunto I was going to do or whether I was going to do applique. Trapunto won out. So, there isn't really one pattern for the whole thing. Maybe I should write it all down into one?

Thanks for the compliments. You all are making me blush! :-)
