Absolutely beautiful, Ellene! I love that you did feathers in the points. They soften the stars up so beautifully. Great design choice!

I had the quilt on my long arm about 5 days, but probably only averaged 3-4 hrs each day. So, I would say about 18-20 hours. I don't usually put that much time in QoVs and I am wondering why??? From now on, I will not hesitate to put more intricate designs on the QoVs that I do. The destination is certainly worth it!!

There is so much to explore and see. I especially liked the feathers in the points. But I find more and more every time I look at it.

whoa! That's beautiful... There are stars within stars! And the fillers are wonderful. Love the diamond border too. You made my morning, seeing this first thing, thanks.
