  1. Hi Joy, I couldn’t find a place a comment on your e-mail that came so will place one here. Love your star pattern. Thanks for the instructions. Will be saved for “I want to do”. Nancy

  2. As you are asking for opinions, I would like to see some applique in the white, using the darker fabrics that you discarded to balance the centre blocks with the border. (Perhaps small flowers like in the border fabric), but it’s really your quilt, so your choice!! It’s funny that when I saw the picture at the top of your blog before the read more bit, I thought that the fabrics were familiar!!

  3. Hi Joy! What a pretty quilt top. I love those fabrics you chose – it does look nice and soft. What size did your quilt top finish at? I probably wouldn’t add anything more to the piece, but that’s just me. Do what makes your heart happy and you can’t go wrong. ~smile~ Roseanne

  4. I’m a great fan of embroidery in a quilt. But this time, I think not! It’s just so soft and feminine and perfect as is,

  5. Love your choice of favorite block for this hop. I love that it can play nicely with others and stand on it’s own as you have shown. Looking forward to it’s completion and seeing what you come up with..

  6. Such Joy in your post. I can feel the love. Your block is fantastic and I love that it can be a one block quilt. Your new quilt is so pretty with the soft fabrics. Some embroidery might be pretty, but after it is quilted it will be lovely as is too.

  7. I think that since you wanted to keep your quilt soft and muted, that no additional work needs done prior to quilting. The border you added gave it a little extra pop to keep it visually interesting~ Thank you for sharing

  8. Your stars look so pretty and since I love big quilt pieces, this one is my kind of block. I think it might be one of my new favorites! Thanks for sharing your pretty quilt!

  9. This is soft and lovely just as it is. Very pretty fabrics. Beautiful kitty. Candlewicking, which I have never even thought to do on a quilt, might take it to another level. I may have to ponder this idea for a future project. Thank you for sharing … 🙂 Pat

  10. I made this star in 1930s print materials in a variety of colors and it came out beautiful. It really is a great pattern and versatile. I think I’ll try it with one color. The aqua is beautiful. Enjoy your posts. –

  11. A bit of handwork makes a quilt really special but since I don’t do embroidery I wouldn’t know what advice to give. It looks lovely so far though!

  12. Lovely design and colors. Soft. I think quilting with a colored thread perhaps is all you would need for that little something. I am sure whatever your choice it will be beautiful

  13. This is such a pretty and subtle and soft quilt. I think I would do embroidery/quilting of the star in the same colors in the center. My favorite block will be revealed later this week!

  14. Your quilt is beautiful as is, but I think some candle-wicking would really make the stars pop! Maybe even an applique in the center. It’s lovely!

  15. I like it as it is, but the right embroidery could be lovely, too. I’d say let your own inclination guide you on this one. It’s plenty busy, and you’ll add quilting to it. That is a very versatile block, indeed!

  16. Pretty colors, and I would leave the white, but do a really pretty quilting design in it. I love stars, too. And log cabins, and…

  17. I love the soft colors! Big blocks rock when you need something fast too!
    Thanks for sharing your fabulous quilts!

  18. Love one block quilts! And depending on the type of quilting you do, feathers in the white would look nice and will show up really well. Thanks for sharing!

  19. Beautiful quilt!! I would use the negative space to do some awesome quilting, but that’s just me!! Anything you do will be beautiful!

  20. Ooo! Love this pretty feminine star quilt. It will look great either way! I wouldn’t embroider it simply because I’m not an embroiderer! But if you have that skill, and you think you’d like it, then go for it. I really like the fabrics you chose.

  21. Your helper, Sapphy is a beautiful cat!! Thanks for the Hop–I especially like the quilt with one giant block star!!

  22. Lovely quilt! And it is hard to find good help these days. My dog usually “helps” by lying down in the middle of my quilt blocks when I put them on the bed to figure out placement. Maybe you could quilt some pretty feathered wreaths in your white space; I just love the look of a feathered wreath!

  23. Oh Joy, I love the soft colors you used for this wall quilt. I think if I did embroidery I would do a tone on tone in the white areas! Whatever you do I know it will be beautiful – it already is!!Your mini quilt and the one block table cover are awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

  24. Quilt it!!!! Possibly a pretty floral design? My favourite could be the last one I designed myself……..maybe?
    Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?i
    On the cutest quilt I’ve ever seen.
    Take care & I’ll talk next week.S
