Ring Around the Lone Star - September's Lovely Finish

It seemed like a modest goal ... but still took some effort for me to complete it.  This 60-inch square quilt top now feels "done" and and ready to be quilted. Somehow the addition of those quirky feather-inspired leave shapes–that I know wouldn't have been everyone's choice–makes it more "me."

Ring Around the Lone Star

Along the way, this quilt now has a name, Ring Around the Lone Star.  It's my completed project for A Lovely Year of Finishes.  This project has helped me push myself even when I continue to have little or no inclination to quilt ...

    There's so much I like about this quilt, from the log cabins used to set the lone star to the star flowers. Very good, Sophie.

    I see the feathery leaves and enjoy them, however when I look at the whole quilt from a distance the circle of stars with the blue streaks behind them look like starburst to me. So much movement! Love it!!
