    Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors and the vine around the edge. You must be very proud. Thanks for sharing.

    Just a beautiful quilt. I love the applique border, it really sets the stars off.

    I have almost finished the appliqued border all the way around but the batteries are down on the camera. What do you think...good or bad?

    I have decided I might put HST in the background fabric & same dk green fabric fabric that I used as a strip to stop the feathered stars..like maybe 2" or 1 1/2" size. (Will have to figure out the measurement) What do you think...good or bad?

    The fabric was given to me by good friends to celebrate a milestone birthday (75th one...3 YEARS ago!) I had never made a Feathered Star & always admired them so decided that it was a good pattern to showcase all those beautiful fabrics.

    Thanks in advance for looking & for your good judgment (even if it means FROG! :) )

    Your quilt is absolutly amazing! I have never had the courage to try a feathered star quilt. Any way you do the border will be fine. If it were mine I would consider a wavy edge and the leaves you selected.
