Star Surround Quilt Top FINISHED!

 Contrary to Melissa's instructions, I am going to leave this in my To-Be-Quilted pile. It will make #3! Some day, hopefully before this year is out, I will have a quilt frame and a place to indefinitely keep a quilt up on a frame and I will have lots of people over at my house helping me quilt this for the Battle ALS with Flowers event in April. 
Just for fun, here's the block itself. Thanks Melissa for hosting this QAL! I can't wait for the next one.

  1. Your top looks so incredibly lovely!!! I love the flower background, it makes you focus on that and not the surround and creates a whole new look. So fun!! Great job on your top, it is just stunning!!

    1. Thanks Melissa! I think I was the only one who did this QAL that used a print as the back ground. I can't wait to get it hand quilted. I promise I'll show you pics when I do. ;)

  2. I just love how changing the solid/print on this makes for a unique design = lovely job!

  5. Love what you did with this! Makes me think of trying another one, only much much smaller than the first one I've made!

  6. Great quilt top. Might have to try a second top with a print background. I like it!

  7. Wow! Your fabric choices really caused the secondary pattern in this quilt to show up. I had never noticed it before seeing yours. Beautiful.
