Finishing this quilt is my May One Monthly Goal, and I think I'm well on the way to accomplishing this goal!
After doing some reading in Walk-Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot, by Jacquie Gering, I came up with a plan for the quilting.
I wanted something off-centered, and giving the impression of a starburst, and decided I wanted it to extend outward from my favorite star, which is the red one. Hopefully, you can see it happening here!
Quilting is proceeding; for me, it's usually at a snail's pace! Lol!
But, I like how it is turning out!
At this point, there is only a little bit of quilting left to do. Binding has been made, and hopefully, I will be ready to sew it down in the next couple of days.
Look at that - a matching pincushion! :)

Great idea for the quilting.
That is a great way to quilt your stars! Jacquie G is a great quilting source. Loved your Charleston pix, too; you guys really know how to "do" a town! xo
thinking I will have to look into the book as I struggle so much with not only the quilting but what to quilt too. Yours is looking good and like the idea of extending out of the block. Will take my Women of the Bible to quilt group today to see if anyone has quilting ideas
This is a beautiful quilt and I think your idea for the quilting is great! I have that book by Jacqui Gering and I love it! Have fun with the rest! Christine x
The quilting is beautiful! I think I'll try something like that sometime. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your quilting!
Better at a snails pace than not at all!! You already know how much I love this quilt:)
Love the quilting design you opted for. It goes have the effect of a starburst. I machine quilt at a snail pace too. Let's be realistic; we do need to learn how to walk before we can run. So walk on, Diann. You are doing great! ;^)
Love that quilting - it's perfect for the design!
I enjoyed my walking foot quilting on my Twinkle quilt, so I'm interested in exploring it more. Thanks for additional inspiration!
The quilting design is perfect. And you were so smart to graph it out first, keeps your snail on track. It will be a lovely finish.
Love how you are quilting this, it's going to look great!
Good quilting plan. It is going to be a terrific quilt.
