What was your inspiration?

Kimmy said I could do it! And I did!!!!

What are you most proud of?

I'm proud of the fact I didn'y give up! Made a lot of mistakes, most got ripped out & redone, some I left in. I now have a better understanding of mine & my machines capabilities!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it! Keep a list of the templates your using for the quilt, some notes or drawing handy for reference. Be careful what music you're listening to while doing certain types of quilting or it might throw you off course!

Beautiful! I love that you used feathers in the star points, and I love the movement that the filler works gives to the quilt. Bravo!
