I should have given credit where credit is due!!

The pattern is in Judy L. Laquidara's book "Nine-Patch Extravaganza" and is called "Star Struck".

The quilting is just lovely!

That was a winner. I like the pattern very much and you did a wonderful job. I agree sometimes it is nice have plan established so all you have to do is enjoy the process. TFS Jayne

Work of art! Love the borders. Good job. You have reason to be proud! We're proud of you, too.

How beautiful! I love the star design and the borders. She will love it!

NICE!!!! I wish I could do FMQ as well as what I see done by members of this form. Love the pattern you chose.

Thanks all for the compliments! Jo did love it - we sent it as a Christmas present for her. It coincidentally arrived during a big power outage in Yorkshire, so she was especially happy to have a lap quilt.

And Barbara, my free-motion quilting stinks. I use pantograph patterns on a long arm - just follow the line with the stylus.

What a great Christmas quilt! And yet it doesn't scream Christmas--it will look at home in all four seasons. Very nice!

Oh, he chose well. Love the colors, and sure wish I could quilt like that.

Beautiful quilt,mary. I like the colors and your multiple pieced borders are amazing. You did a great job. Sounds like you and your DH make for a good team. TFS.

That is a masterpiece Mary. Your fabric choices really compliment the design and the border is spectacular. Great quilting too.

I haven't seen a quilt you have made I didn't think was beautiful. You have a gift, Mary, and what is so special is that you share it freely. That makes it particularly special.

It is beautiful Mary! What a wonderful & priceless gift you have given.

You're all making me blush, LOL. Thank you for all the praise, what an ego boost!!

Honestly, I could have come up with the body of the quilt on my own - I use star sashing frequently. But those borders - FIVE of them, all matched up - umm, no. No credit to me.

I'm not even math challenged - I can do it. But that doesn't mean I enjoy it, LOL. That first border (Light green with the cream triangle sticking up in it) she gave both templates and a paper piecing pattern. That isn't a standard triangle.

If you're impressed, do take a look at the book, whether you buy it or in your library. Judy Laquidara is a master designer and long-arm quilter.

I'd love to see the quilt, but the only picture that shows up is the label. Anyone else not able to see the quilt?

Beautiful -- the colors are perfect for this design. The gold border sets it off.
Judy Laquidara would be very proud!

I wasn't able to comment before because I could log in but Mary this is a beautiful quilt.
