Piecing the top has been quite a challenge, which is mostly my fault for choosing this particular block. It requires a lot of precision; even slight variations in seam allowance and pressing habits make blocks from different sewers tricky to join satisfactorily.
I'm thinking of adding a border to make the stars seem to float on a sea of gray.
I think hand quilting will be the most forgiving way to go on this top. I think it will also help define the shapes too, since my fabrics are fairly low contrast.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5kLblACrME_zB-i9emel12OxYyz_Wph_wzhcfVEWkWhxma5qjKXFEu_UFUtv1cU7rp0kwbv-5Q_Y-taOS8Ak7Q16IempkVxJo8h4fgquQDrDP72YIJvGK7AamnsUO2-KBzGs-Y3l_9Q/s320/piecedtopcloseup.jpg)

Your quilt is so pretty and soft...just like the blossoming tree behind it and the weathered wood!
Love the colors!
I bet it was tough to put that together, but it's looking fantastic.
